Exactly!
So how do you go about countering that?
For me you have two options:
* Push onto the front foot and go for a third
* Pack the midfield to plug the gaps and defend like your life depends on it.
We tried to hold onto the game playing 4-4-2 - they always had a spare man to pass to as we had a man short in midfield.
The ONLY way that play could work is if you had pace in behind with the 2 men you leave up front - then the opposition can't over commit for fear of being caught but with Kayode and Bowerman they were safe as houses!
