I can’t agree with the goalkeeper comments, even the best keepers will let in goals if the players in front of him aren’t closing down and are allowing the opposition to have a pop at goal.
Also with 3 at the back and 5 in midfield at least one of the midfielders has to provide the grit, having 5 nice “ after you Claude” type players only puts further pressure on the back 3
