This happened a few times vs Liverpool.
Gundogan ended up closing down Gomez with Foden covering in central midfield.
A defensive 4 of Lewis-Bernardo-Foden-Nunes.
Yikes.
Something Guardiola usually gets right is that balance in midfield.

Far post runs from just inside the oppositions half…
I understand the principle (create space to attack) but sometimes you just need to attack the space.

This can speed up the game, making the team in possession stretched, leaving gaps
Look at the situation here. If Rogers makes the pass then Watkins is in. If he doesn’t (which happens) Palace have Mateta free (as Carlos deep) & two + runners at Villa’s back line
Lack of control

This is what I was referring to with regards to the 3-2-5 structure.
A lot of teams will defend against that using a 5-4-1/5-2-3 shape with a CB jumping out to press one no.10.
This creates space in the oppositions back line, making it attractive to play early balls forwards.

When you think of a standard 4-3-3 there is very little space between the CBs & DM during build ups.
When teams build in the 3-2 shape this space increases as the middle CB drops deep, making it easier for the opposition to counter.
See Carlos & Mateta’s positioning here during Villa vs Palace

As we approach the January transfer window, a reminder of last seasons success stories.
Both players - from the Championship - pretty much hit the ground running & improved the performances of their new clubs.
If you want an immediate impact, the Championship is the place to look.

It’s nice to see Brighton in & around it after 11 games & it would be a great story if they could stay around the top four season after season.
Other clubs like Southampton & Leicester City have managed good spells before being picked apart & then struggling to maintain the level of the squad.
