You could put the best holding midfielder in the world on our system and they would fail. He's not playing well and should be dropped, but just putting another player in his place isn't going to suddenly make us good defensively.
The worrying is thing is we play the same way no matter if we play against a back four or back three, a counter attacking team or a possession based team. It looks like we do little to no work on during the week on what the opposition will/might do.
Just seeing that replay again, it looks like Mainoo was there to pick up one of the Liverpool defenders incase there was a screen. Seems a bit mad to just leave someone free in the box.
