Nobody in their right mind would want Walker or Danilo/Delph overlapping anyway. It’s just going to concede possession and then leave us over-committed and exposed to the counter. So Pep would much rather leave the full backs in areas where they should be able to control the opposition (though Walker does his best to make it as difficult as possible). I agree with the lack of overlaps. What’s lacking is quick passing to draw the opposition out of position and quick diagonals to get one v ones for the wingers. Well, we try a lot of the diagonals but so often they are poorly executed or we are offside.
Our passing has been way too slow this season, frustratingly so. I'm starting to think that there are a few players in that dressing room who are possibly starting to realise that there are a few team mates that aren't at their level, maybe they are beginning to not trust some with the ball either. Everyone seems to be keeping the ball too long, picking the wrong pass, shooting from distance rather than moving it when they should.
When teams attack us we lose simple as that, funny thing is Pep winges that teams don't attack us??? I don't get it.
