But they got us in good shape there for the future.

But right now, you know, we're navigating maybe the problems attached to that, the short-term pain, maybe for the long-term gain.

Yeah, I think McAllister's a really interesting one, especially on the tactical side.

I think he's generally top.

The past few seasons, I've been such a fan of him.

And I think he has been hung out to dry a little bit by the system that he's been surrounded by this season.

Obviously, the lack of press at the front has then resulted in the midfield too, covering lots of space, big open spaces.

I think specifically about the, do you remember Stamford Bridge, Casedo's belter?

Yeah.

And with the screamer.

Yeah.

Well, that materialises because McAllister presses, I think, Gusto.

And he's also got Casedo to his right.

And he tries to press them both.

Loses obviously both because he can't get to the pair of them.

Casedo takes it beyond them and then fires into the top corner.

There's been a lot of that all season, where McAllister's had to manage two players at once, and that's a system thing.

And going back to Iriola, the way Iriola does things, that isn't really how it would be with Iriola.

Iriola would allow McAllister to press Gusto, and then there'd probably be a centre-half right behind him pressing Casedo then.

But Slott prioritised the plus one at the back, so it kind of fleeced the midfield too at times.
