Yeah, we don't like slow posessive football. It's dull. Barcelona and Spain a few years ago where the best teams in the world but so boooorrring to watch. But that doesn't explain why they can't defend. Many of the goals let in aren't to do with pure football skill (some are obviously) but defensive mistakes. Take the Leicester Arsenal game, finished 2-5. Arsenals goals came from the fact Leicester, even though they are playing Arsenal who had Walcott up front played a high defensive line meaning Walcott easily ran passed them on numerous occastions. While Arsenal let in a counter attack and the other one they just stood around while Vardy shot.

The lack in defense against European teams is pretty easy because defending against teams who play possesive football is about anticipation and interception.. cause the passing is that good and fast.. and lets just say most English top teams lack in smart top defender department.. a problem for a lot of teams. look at ManU they have Blind who solves everything with his mind not strenght or speed. if only 5% of his smartness was inserted into Phil Jones and you would have the perfect defender.
