Which makes Ricky's statement seem strange. Since January they've been monstrous. Their front 3 just isn't fair. I've never seen something like that.
It's bloody weird how rarely you see their front 3, especially the wide players, behind the half line trying to defend. Not once have I heard any combination of the words "Messi, Neymar, tracking back" in the commentary. They don't even need to, they can just outscore you.
Their front three rarely track back which is why they give you chances but the quality they have had in their front three over the last decade means opposition full backs are afraid to push up much, attack is the best form of defence and all that.
I believe part of our issues with set pieces has been not leaving a single player in the middle third. We invite the opposition to put more players in the box, don't know why .
