And there's a better chance that a defender will be on the front foot rather than try to hit the ball going back towards his own goal.
But everyone does it today.
And I've asked you, Kenton, why they do it today more than... Well, you as a striker in that situation, are you quite happy that teams are playing, defending with a higher line?
it's just natural you're going to want to drop into that space.
And that's the problem you have, because it wasn't that great a ball.
By them just instinctively dropping, it just allows the ball, and then they're not able to attack it.
Because if you're running back, then you can't just suddenly switch and then get on the front foot and try and head it, because the ball just happens to go in that quick.
Troy Deeney's just read the flight of the ball.
He's in a decent area.
He hasn't really gone to properly attack it.
He was free at that time.
But if you just space just a yard less...
If it goes over you, then not a problem.
The keeper will be able to fetch it.
But it allows defenders, and that's the line, we don't break it, we don't drop, we're able to go and attack it.
What about the second, though, which comes from a corner?
Yeah, well, Cath, I was saying his job was to block someone on that.
I don't think, I think Dembele's at fault here, or Tongan could have done better.
Cath, Clark just seems to stand his ground, then move.
They obviously have a game plan at corner kicks.
