Those 2 games are best I have seen us play in a very very long time.
This article has been dangerously close to a proper debate!
I don't think we should be 'playing deep', just not such a suicidally high line, also totally agree better pressing of the ball higher up the pitch would leave the line less exposed as the oppo would have less time to pick a defence splitting pass.

Ok then I should close the debate. I think you can only play a deep line if you have at least one (ideally two) proper DM (like Makelele or Essien).
A good DM should limit the number of ball going through...
We need no pundit for an analysis like that. We all know that our first half defence was awful. We were far better in the second half. What we learn about that is to concentrate and to work together from the first minute.
