No, not really. Unless we completely changed our method of playing.
We play an overload which means we want to have more outfield players advanced of the ball than the opposition, in their half.
If we had 4 defenders, with defending being the priority, then we’d never have the overload.
It’s why we’ll always be susceptible to a quick counter as we’re outnumbered the other way if we don’t retreat quick enough.
