We rely on flooding our attacking third with players, so if a team does a 'Napoli' and effectively floods its own defensive third with players we can struggle to break them down, mainly because Silva doesn't have the room to operate and our other midgets find the same problem (this more than anything is why we need a more direct form of plan B pinging crosses onto Dzeko/Balotelli's foreheads). Thankfully three central defenders behind a bank of four players (wingbacks plus two midfielders) isn't too popular in the Prem even though Mancini has used it a few times to try and close games out later in the second half.
