Conflicting Directions
Defensive solidity versus high pressing
While maintaining a higher defensive line, the team may leave spaces behind when pressing vigorously.
Width versus compactness
Emphasizing width through wing-backs could sometimes stretch the midfield unit too thin.
Play Out Of Defence challenge
Distributing to centre-backs may take time, risking losing possession under pressure.
Tactical Suggestions

Consider replacing the DLP with a more dynamic midfielder to increase midfield support.
Fine-tune pressing instructions
