Brendan Rodgers

Yeah, it means so much to him, the club, and I know what probably he would have been thinking, you know, the team's in the relegation zone and it's going to be his responsibility between now to keep...

them in the in the Premier League but he's done a wonderful job as Ashley said he's a real calming figure around the club and it's great for him to finish his sort of reign as the the interim coach with a win a clean sheet and then also moving out of the bottom three so he can be happy and have a glass of wine tonight he's done his job

Yeah, I thought, like what we said, it was going to be important to be able to control...

Those two.

But you see in the example here, I thought that that sort of triangle of the two centre-halves and Leon Britton in front was key.

You mentioned earlier in the programme that some teams went against with a three, 3v2, and it normally can be a flat three.

But here, you see that the centre-halves were really aggressive.

In particular, actually, Williams, there's a couple of great examples.

You see Leon Britton there just anticipating and reading it

But they've always had numbers around the ball.

And I thought that tactically they were excellent tonight.

Picking the diamond meant that naturally there was going to be more players on the inside.

And that allowed them to, as I said, to pick up any second ball.

Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.

But you've got to have someone who's a good reader of the game and who can anticipate.

You see Jack Cork as well.

Jack Cork played that role for me at Watford as well.

So you'd players in there with good tactical intelligence.

Leon's fantastic at it.

You see he's no big physical stature, but he reads the game, he slides across, blocks the lines of pass, and then normally when he receives it, he gets the first pass away to keep the ball.
