Yeah, I don't think it's going over the top.
You're just giving the ball back to PSG.
I don't think it's that.
I think you've got to have spells in the game where you make passes and you have the ball and you go through midfield and you're brave enough.
Because what happens is, I believe, when a team has so much the ball, they've then got energy when they lose the ball to counterpress really well.
So Liverpool were amazing.
Liverpool were the best at counterpressing because they always had energy to do so.
PSG were the same the other day so that means you lose the ball because you're tired from running and Arsenal are running side to side moving side to side shuffling side to side so when they get the ball back they're absolutely knackered but you've got to be brave enough and strong enough to play through a press and play through a counter press where you can play through and then you keep the ball for a certain number of passes to then give you a little bit of a breather on the ball and a little bit of time to control the game a little bit I never felt like Arsenal had that in the game I really didn't but how could they have got that?
Where do you need those players?
No, I think pace is a massive part of it.
But the issue is when you play like that, and like I said, I've played in this system before, where you don't touch the ball for long periods.
When you get it back, you feel like you've got to go and score straight away.
And we've seen Arsenal score early, which helped them.
And Adam just mentioned that.
I was in the Euro 2020 final.
I was on the bench for England.
And it was exactly the same.
We scored, and I don't think that helped us.
Because all of a sudden, you cling on, and you shrivel up a little bit, and you go, oh my God, we're playing...
Italy are an incredible team Arsenal are playing PSG are an incredible team we've got to defend defend defend but the time you look on the clock and there's an hour to go or there's 75 minutes to go and you go oh my word where's the time going so I think it's important that you have pace but then when you go forward you've got to be brave enough to cap back out and have spells on the ball when you're a counter attack team you've still got to have them spells you don't just counter attack counter attack counter attack in my eyes
