It's said of an entire team's current formation and mentality, when a team wants to not concede any goals (or any more than they already have), the formation comes closer together, length-wise with attacking players "falling" to midfield positions and midfielders "falling" to defensive-midfielder positions, and width-wise, with wide players moving closer to the centre. This helps close down the opposition's passing lines and creates a lot of "traffic", which makes it hard for opposing players to try long shots.
