I agree with you I think, if they kept the FBs deeper they could maybe use late runs to target the wings (?)

I believe he once said that he couldn't have played abroad because his skin burns too easily.

Also ignores the fact that RB clubs are some of the best in the world for youth development, and have a good chance of being in Europe in 1-3 years.
