And it was to drop Finnazzaz deeper to get on the ball.
And we had John O'Shea in with us at Premier Sports and he said it was by design.
It wasn't like me just looking or them looking at it and thinking, we need to do it now.
They had predicted it.
That's what he had told us.
They felt that would happen, that that was our option.
And that's why as well, when you think about Harvey Vail coming into the squad out of nowhere, and then Jaime saying he's got that last ball in him, he's got that moment that Finnazaz has.
And I've got a friend who's a big Middlesbrough supporter and was telling me that Finnazaz wouldn't like dominate games from one minute to 90, but he would consistently deliver that big moment.
And he did with that pass over the top to get his level at 2-2.
So whether or not they put him in there early,
it's going to be incredible.
It's going to be so fascinating to see what the team that he selected to start, but also with in mind what's the team going to be prepared to finish the game.
It's a difficult one because you're looking at it and thinking and listening to the soundbite.
So I'll be always kind of like trying to find what's he saying here?
What's he suggesting here, Jaime?
And then even both of them coming into the squad, like,
out of nowhere, really.
I know he's a player that we've always identified as someone coming through, but he's not playing.
He hasn't played much for his club as well.
Even his club manager is not particularly happy that he's actually turning up.
