Is there any explanation why my player stands still after making a tackle/interception in the box, resulting in the opposition scoring? Defensive AI is honestly a joke in the game

This has been an issue for years and years and quite frankly Im tired of seeing it on my screen. For the first Benfica goal Nduka receives the ball facing his own goal with a clear option to pass to his keeper, instead of playing the pass he just stands there as 3 players press him.
What conceivable reason is there for him to do this? Why has this issue been a constant way for big teams to artificially score goals vs smaller ones in game? Its nonsensical/

My player in the second arsenal goal just stands around for a full second when he's got 2 passing options and the opposition is about to press him. He subsequently loses the ball and arsenal score from this. I'm at a loss for words how this happens in the game, it is VERY frequent and honestly needs fixing

Distance between Morato and Maguire is all over the place, they both slow down a **** ton when the ball is played in behind and Vitinha is the only one who reacts to it. This really needs to be fixed. these types of through balls are seemingly undefendable for the AI.
I think for one of the other goals as well, to at least for a chance the players get the ball and dont move for a solid 3 seconds while the attackers close them down to nick the ball out their feet and have a shot on goal for free. This has been in the game for years but feels way more common in the match engine atm

For the second Southampton goal, Mitchell's pace slows down dramatically to allow che Adams to get to the ball and cross it in to Belotti who is unmarked for some weird reason. My centre backs and the other full back didn't even react to the ball over the top. This is very aggravating to watch to say the very least, even despite the win.

This has been an issue for the past few years, really since they made the playing time pathways thing. When renegotiating a contract you cant change their playing time to entice players to want to join you. I feel like this a very obvious oversight.
Im Crystal Palace. The Brentford defender runs out of the pitch, allowing Olise to get the ball with no issues and get an assist.
