Then youβre reading it wrong then. The purpose of a midfield like this is tempo control, which most probably means us dictating the ball rather than chasing it. Also, playing two CMFs means there is no need for a deep sitter.
I'm worried about the midfield of Mateus, Mainoo and Bruno, especially if what's behind them is Lisandro and Luke shaw/lewis hall.
We are going to be food for any team with powerful carriers/duelers.
