IMO no need for four defenders against 2 ST and 1 AMC with so many players in your own half.
Turn the advantage around by employing your own AMC to support the ST better on the counter. Possession was 68/32 in my favour, he had only 4 hots on target with 1 needing to be saved.
What is your thinking with the down arrow on your GK?.
