Damien Delaney

We're going to ring it.

We're going to pick up the second balls.

I don't want you making these...

you know, these central midfield players like Odegaard in the 10 position, they make what they call corner runs, which essentially runs towards a corner flag.

So it's just a run out and you often see Saka just roll a straight one down the line or sometimes the ball gets played in and he picks up a second ball.

So he's saying, no, I don't want you making those runs now.

I just want you to ring the box because Saka's going to get his cross in, pick the ball up and just sustain the attack.

And it's just the sheer weight or the volume of this Arsenal team bearing down on anyone seems to be too much for anyone to handle.

So,

Perhaps there's been a structural change.

I don't see as much freedom, as much interchanging.

I think last year with Arsenal, there was very much a, you can change positions.

You know, if you look and someone's in your position, just go and find a spare spot, right?

And, you know, you'd see Calafiori joining in.

He might end up being a 10.

You see Jesus over on the left wing.

And then you might see Martin Elliott, the 9.

Yeah, he could be a little too off the cuff for what he's looking at at the minute.

Maybe Arteta's got a little bit tense and he's just gone, look, we can keep clean sheets and I fancy us to get goals, i.e.

a moment of magic or a set piece or something or just sheer volume of attacks.
