he's right in the sense that it's a recognised fact and has been for a decade.
he's completely wrong to say that it will be an issue against better teams - why the £#%&! do people say this, especially about a team managed by Jose who is widely known to set up for the particular opponent he faces.
interesting thing in the analysis was that despite only using a few clips in ateast one of the examples blind was up with the attack and wide open and so jenus just didn't mention it
mourinho specifically mentioned the players exploring the spaces behind their wingbacks in the 1st half btw and then as soon as swansea dared to change it we tore them apart.
