Like I said, other teams will pose a different problem for him.

You know, when they have to be the instigator, when they have to commit bodies forward, when they join in, when they're the ones pinning teams in,

you know, all of a sudden now the midfield looks a little bit bare because fullbacks are joining in.

All of a sudden, Harry Maguire now looks a little bit exposed because of their spaces.

So I'm not going to get too carried away just yet.

I think those two games, Man City and Arsenal, were set up beautifully.

And listen, the manager delivered.

So I'm not criticizing.

He delivered a perfect game plan in both those games.

So he deserves a lot of credit.

I didn't hear any of the stuff that was said after the game yesterday, but if he wins all 17 games, he's getting the job.

In fact, I think if he got Champions League football, he's got a good chance of getting the job.

I think when you put it in the system, people like Dallow are probably one that benefits most from a simplified game plan.

you know when the ball goes here you go don't worry about what's behind you because that's somebody else's problem and then he addresses the problem behind so he gives him the license to go i think when you get cotton in gray areas he kind of panics you also got to look at the center backs playing alongside him me being the center back the last thing you want is your fullback racing out because now it leaves space down the side for you do you understand what i'm saying whereas like if you if you've got two sixes in front of you you can say okay dallo you can go and release do the fullback

You can just slide along into the channel.

And by the way, don't worry about the one behind you because Casemiro can fill that hole or Martinez will come across.

So the structures are in place.

So now Dalot has comfort that when the ball goes to the wide player, he can release.

Now if the ball gets transferred inside and the structure behind him isn't right, he's not going to get blamed for that.

It's the people behind him.
