Agree. I go one step further to our front line. Doku couldn’t defend Spurs 1st goal. Haaland was losing his duel that led to Spurs 3rd goal.

It’s not just the back line. We seem to lack control in the middle too.
We miss Gundo, he could control the game, apart from Rodri no one else in the middle holds there position leaving him over run, we badly need Kev back, too many square pegs in round holes and it's hurting us.

Gvardiol is never a full back, should be played in the middle or not at all.
For several years now Rodri has been a man mountain doing several players jobs, and right now he’s not in great form and really needs some help.
Akanji has done ok a few times stepping into midfield but he’s really not good enough to do that role. Walker has also been targeted several times now 1v1 and let himself down on the 3rd goal.
I would say go to a back 4 and an actual midfielder alongside Rodri after Villa but i have no idea what 4 that could really be

Headless chickens.
Akanji out of position in midfield, Gvardiol out of position at left back, Dias not as good as people seem to think he is. Ederson not controlling his back four, Walker not a leader.
No Stones, no quality.

We play with 4 forwards, that's a big part of the reason why we concede more goals. Pep's experimenting a bit, our high pressing is a bit risky.
Plus we are a bit unlucky right now that we concede from low-percentage situations.

It's a huge concern. I hate how soft our centre is.
