The problem doesn't seem to be the mobility of defenders, but encouraging them to pass back to the keeper so much. Stones was crucified for it last week, against Southampton, but it came from an ideology imposed by Pep. It has to be a basic function of any defender to minimise risks before anything else. I think it's great having a keeper who's good on the ball but that should be treated as a bonus, and used when necessary, not something you build an entire method around.
