    That’s because we were playing defensively ie setting up the team so that midfielders drop deep and forwards drop into midfield. This is to compensate for errors in the back four. So as a consequence we don’t score many goals

    Yeah that's fair to a degree. All I would say is that even with the more defensive approach we missed some absolute sitters quite regularly so we did create enough opportunities to win games even with said approach. I also think we didn't necessarily drop due to having to compensate for errors. Teams we were playing generally had better players than us so there is that.
