Not sure who first used the term illegal, I wouldn't exactly call it that. You have to agree that if you have noone on the left or right, then you're going to concede lots of possession. Yes, in real football, players can drift out wide to defend, but there will still be plenty of space more than usual for the opponents on that side.
