They cover the overlap, it's the centre back who covers the attacking winger. It's why Brindley and Chicksen work well as outside centre backs in a back 3 but in a back 4 they'd struggle.

Maybe your lack of understanding of the position is why you often seem aloof and on your own with your derision of Nemane?
My point is, he is asked to do something that he cant do, and that is defensive cover when needed. As you say, they are are expected to be defensively minded. I'm certainly not mistaking him for a full back, god help us if he was.
