But just knowing you've got that almost four-back option feels huge.

Greg, give me a score prediction.

from a forward-thinking point of view, so teams can go a little bit high up the pitch, be a bit more aggressive, be less concerned about what's going on and think, these probably aren't going to hurt us.

That this should be a very simplistic thing to shut down.

But we couldn't get to the ball, we couldn't get on the ball, we couldn't win the ball.

But then if you did win the ball, what were we going to do with it?

But they eventually do cotton on to it and all of a sudden it looks atrocious.

And it was.

It wasn't good at all.

But I'm also looking at this and I'm a bit like, well, how do you... I think if we'd have been aggressive as a midfield...

They just picked the ball off, passed it through us.

I mean, they've actually created chances.

And this is sort of the problem with a lot of what I'm watching at the minute is I don't know what the solution is.

It's just not very good.

I just don't think they've got the tools to do that.

I don't think they've got tools to take a game to team.

I don't think they've got the tools to pick a defensive path.

I don't think they've got it in them to sit in and frustrate.

They did, but they also have Mohamed Salah on the right wing having the season in his life and Trent Alexander-Arnold at right back breaking things apart and making their life a hell of a lot easier, giving them more time on the ball.

And this is sort of what I meant about when Chelsea could just step up and be a bit more aggressive and know that we're not going to hurt them because we weren't going to hurt them.
