Nacho's an excellent LB. I think it's more about having no wide forwards. 4-3-3 is fine, but playing with a no.10 behind two strikers (to use our best players) means that we only have one wide man on each side and therefore need the 3rd defender to stop us getting overrun by 2 on 1s when they attack us down the flanks.

But it worked last night - all our goals invloved a wing back and we never got over run down the flanks (except when we Mustafied it up.)
