Hi.
Seem to be missing something in regards to the central defender 'cover' duty.
- I play a high lined 4231 with two central mids, left on 'support' right on 'defend' - but set to hold position - and close down less.
- My back line from left to right is FBs CDd CDc FBa.
My issue is that when I am defending an attack, all my back 6 will be in perfect positions, but if my 'cover' cd is marking a striker that runs deep, he will stupidly, aggressively follow him, with or without the ball. Obviously this consequently leads to a defence splitting pass/mayhem.
Any pointers/ideas on any instructions to add? I dont overload players with instructions, although I have tried with 'hold position', 'ease off tackles', 'close down less', but the geez still acts like a fool.
Thanks for any suggestions!
