Still not entirely sure why people think we need one.
If you look at the way BR has us set up to play, our players get behind the ball and press in groups.
When we move out from the back, the 2 CB's split and go wide, whilst one of the deeper midfielders drops in between them, the fullbacks push up to halfway (to start with), so straight away there are 3 "out" balls, and we move up the pitch progressively, for the most part.
When we counter, we aren't getting everyone forwards because again, we move forwards in stages, pressing the opposition back.
This system needs quick CB's rather than a DM, because of the higher line, so a speedy CB is the priority for me rather than another DM.
