[Help recreating Sean Dyche’s 442]

Playing very compact and defensively doesn't mean you won't concede, in fact you are more vulnerable even as you're letting the opponent attack more.

Can you post the tactic?  Also how are you willing to get the ball? In other words,when do you want/expect the opponent's attack to fail? How are you also willing to play when you get the ball?

Your question is quite logical - given that it's an out-of-possession instruction (as you correctly noted) - but Rashidi is right. D-line tells your back-line how close to the halfway line they should (look to) be positioned when you are in possession (which is not set in stone in terms of positioning, of course). Once you' ve lost the ball, they will start getting back and look to position themselves in the best possible way defense-wise. And this will also be affected by other instructions (pressing intensity in the first place).

Aha, I see. So How can I control how deep I defend? And Are there other instructions that work in a different way than the one written in the game?

Is the defensive line instruction affect the defenders when we have the ball, or when the opponent does? In nearly all Rashidi's guides he says when you have the ball, and I'm kinda confused why it exists in the defensive shouts? Aren't defensive instructions for when the opponent is in possession?
