Sorry, didn’t really read the rest of the thread, but yes, we never really play a true 4-3-3, IMO, and it is nearly always 4-5-1 for the reason you outline.
But because of our lack of offensive pace this season, we are always going to be pinned back.

Most of this, but how they’re used? We need to be realistic, we’re not going to blindly attack and leave no cover for the FBs.
We’re a bottom half PL team, so they are going to need to defend and make their deliveries count.
The bigger issue IMO is your second point, numbers in the box, there...
