    Conflicting Directions

    Vulnerability to Set Pieces

    The current setup may struggle against well-organized set pieces due to lack of aerial presence.

    Outside Penalty Area Weakness

    Conceding goals and assists from outside the penalty area indicates potential defensive frailties.

    Counter-Pressing Efficiency

    While effective in countering, the team may become overexposed if not winning the ball back quickly.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Adjust Midfield Roles

    Consider changing one CM to a more defensive role or a specialized playmaker to strengthen midfield control.

    Increase Set Piece Training

    Enhance set piece strategies to improve organization and reduce mistakes.

    Employ Deeper Defensive Line

    Adopting a deeper line might mitigate risks against counter-attacks and provide more security.
