These are really true words.Tactics are really underrated when it comes to defense.Enrique can make our defence tight even with pique masch if he is that much of a tactician.We may get hummels or benatia but in the end defensive tactics will be the most important thing.Look at brazil.They have such an amazing defence but got humiliated with 10 goals in 2 matches.In the end its the upto the coach to make the defence strong.
Exactly, our CBs right now aren't bad at all imo, its that fact that our tactics include an Alves that can't get back, Alba can defend despite what many say, He had Bale in his pocket so much so that he had to go on the other side of the field with Alves in no man's land to score a goal against us. If Bartra or Montoya was our starting RB i'm sure counters would be much less painful and if Bartra were RB along with a new tall CB alongside Pique, setpieces/corners would also be less daunting.
