At City or at Barca depending on court ruling
I see Pogba as playing deep and not going forward just like he did after lockdown, and I see Thiago sitting deep too, the whole point of the line-up in that case is VDB and Bruno are the players who get forward.
Rashford we already know its happy to track back, Sancho is used to running at Dortmund perhaps not as far back as Rashford goes.
4 midfielders is hardly the end of the world, people make the assumption all would go forward, that's not the case.
Matic doesn't go forward either he sits in the back four when the full-backs go forward in the current system, a back 3 doesn't mean that a team is exposed.
Some teams for instance like a Barca of old had Xavi deeper, Busquets sitting in the back 4 but Alves and Alba played like wingers it was a back 2 and a back 3 at times but they had a successful era of football (obviously they had the best midfield in the world and the GOAT) but the point is teams can play a back 3 and a big midfield and it's not as bad as people think it is it depends on the personnel and the system.
A 4-4-2 wouldn't work with some teams either, nor would a 4-2-3-1 if you have the wrong players then the system can be wrong.
I'm certainly not saying I'm right, but I'm saying that football changes even in possession and out of possession it changes.
A player like Thiago and Pogba sitting back is hardly 'not defensive' even if they aren't 'pure CDMs' or destroyers like people seem to want at times.
Matic won't play every game we know that.
