I was thinking about it lately, if you notice and remember, both Leipzig/Gladbach used the same tactics on us and both scored 3 goals, we only managed 1 point against both formations.
The trick is simple, a hard-working trio in the midfield, a false 9 and a fast winger.

Forsberg and Stindl played the same role, sitting between our DM's and CB's, both focused more on our right side, playing passes in the back of Pavard - Boa/Sule.
We seem so far unable to defend against a good false 9, our back 4 is unable to mark him.

If you think the right side is our weakness then you are maybe right but our back 4, in general, must learn how to deal with a false 9 and we must master the offside line.
Against teams who transition fast with a frontman who is technically gifted, we should be more careful.

The false 9 would've struggled and same for the winger if we closed them down, not leaving them much space but they know we goin to use a high line and being that easily predictable is a weakness, we should be more flexible especially during games when we know we going to suffer.
