Because you can't have two man in the middle when everyone else is playing three there if you fancy having a midfield.
so play 4 in the middle then. that's essentially what rosicky and hleb were.
or bypass midfield and take advantage of numerical superiority in final third - it's a basic fact that if you're outnumbered in one part of the pitch, you outnumber them in another. we generally have better technical players than the opposition, so getting the ball where it needs to go shouldn't be a problem. as for defending, two well-organised banks of four should be pretty hard to get through, as we know all too well.
