Yep, in this formation you HAVE to have defenders who are good on the ball, they need to carry the ball forward into space and draw a player away from midfield.
If we have Smalling/Jones +1 just sitting there on the half way line ( like we did in that spell we played it ) then it means 1 less attacker and is actually more defensive.
Bailly/Rojo/Lindelof would be better but I don't trust them 3 as a back line.
Me either mate, in my opinion for a back 3 to work you need really solid adaptable defenders i don't think we have any.
