    Wingers on support duty may not provide enough defensive coverage.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Consider changing wingers to 'Attack' duty to add more offensive threat.

    Consider a Defensive Midfielder

    Adding a more defensive-minded player could enhance stability.

    Experiment with Pressing Intensity

    Increased pressing intensity could capitalize on opponents’ mistakes.
