Ordinary defending is when you have your defenders protecting the goal, your defensive midfielders tracking back and generally not being caught out of position


Deep block is when you are either playing for a draw or you are looking to hold on to what you have. If you start a game with a deep block defence it suggests you’re either happy with a draw or looking to play purely on the counter

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re coming across deranged if you can’t even acknowledge that somehow playing with almost all your own defenders in your penalty box stands out as being particularly defensive in your tactical mindset


And I think you’re doing it because you seem to think that acknowledging this is the same as excusing us.
