Depth in Attack
The attacking setup provides multiple options for scoring, utilizing three forwards.
Defensive Vulnerability on Flanks

Over-Reliance on High Press
Continuous high pressing can lead to fatigue and disorganization, especially against teams that can play through pressure.

Bringing in a more defensive-minded player could help mitigate counter-attacking risks.
