That isn't a back 3. That's the positions players get in when the ball is in certain zones.
We don't play a forward 7 at corners, for instance.

I know what your saying but I was speaking in simplistic terms. The reference to the position of players in certain zones makes no difference to what the average fan which I am will see with their own eyes when one or two of the full backs moves into an inverted position in the midfield.
I don't think I indicated that City forming a back 3 was a static formation nor that City would hold this shape throughout the game leaving City to play a front 7 at corners.
Further the length of time City tend to have the ball often that 3 becomes a 2, subject to what your saying about zones of course.
