Precisely. Iva contributed a lot to our attack yesterday, was one of our best players, but to be honest, defensively we looked shaky on his side because of that. People complain about Azpi's no offensive contribution, but he was a rock on his wing, winning all of duels, tackles and making interceptions and clearances. When Cesc "Can't defend" Fabregas makes more interceptions and tackles than a fullback, it's just strange.

Definitely. Imo attacking backs only work well if you play like a 5-3-2 system where you still have plenty of defenders left to cover up the gaps and where the attacking backs are necessary to overlap the 3 midfielders.

When you play 4 at the back like we do, and you have the excellent attacking wings like we do, I think all 4 defenders should just stick to defending and keeping it tight.

This match we needed to chase the scoreline and Ivanovic played a crucial part in our goals, though. There has to be a compromise, a right balance between attack and defence. I liked Iva in attack yesterday, but I didn't like how shaky our defence looked when he left big gaps down that side, leaving us quite open at times.

Definitely. I just think the main focus should be on defending. Attacking impulses are great but should not lead to neglecting defensive tasks. So as long as Iva can combine his runs with his defensive work, all great for me, but if not, better focus on defending first.
