Depends on how much space is between the offensive and defensive line. If Mertesacker is forcing everyone back, whilst Sanchez, Ramsey and Wilshere are simultaneously pressing like headless chickens, there will be a huge amount of ground to cover in the middle.
you're right, but you don't press high and play a deep back line. you either press high and keep a high line, or you sit back and play a deep line.
carvalho would be a great addition. beefs us up on set pieces (at both ends), and would give our midfield a better balance of qualities. and we have a team that is built to play on the counter with ozil, sanchez and walcott with ramsey trailing.
that's something we need to be able to do against the good teams.
