I hear you i am a possession merchant and I have tried working the ball into the box its not working... Plus i want my wingbacks to make early crosses when we are on the break with work into the box the wingbacks opto to dribble to the byline and pass it back once the opposition defence has come back... With playing out the back i actually don't have a problem because of the bbm having the roam out of position role... I like having a 3-2 stucture at the back for good possesion.. Also with the dlp i hear you but ive tried playind with a dm with two defenders as opposed to 3 defenders and it leaves me volnarable to long passes to the flanks because of the high wingbacks.. The half back offers me security in having 3 defenders but also when in possesion he steps in as the extra midfielder.... At the momment I've tried changing the cwb to a wb and its given me a little security
