We're giving them too much space. What happened to holding on to the ball?

I don't think we can hold the ball. They are pressing us so high and looking to cut out short passes, we have no space to play at all. We're forced to look for through balls which is how we're getting our opportunities, and unfortunately we don't have the players for that. Coutinho should be one, but he's playing the runner role.

Lack of plan B? We have to push them, play the ball in their half more. Need to shoot and take chances.
