I think zonal, you can end up a bit passive.
Man-to-man in the modern day, you can get blocked and people can get away from you.
So we felt a bit of a mixture gives a bit more responsibility back to the markers and also keeps a few of our bigger players in zones.
And we've been better since.
We lost a few first contacts today, but I think against Burnley, sometimes you've got to accept that and try and make sure you get the seconds.
And that involved Kurt Zouma as well.
You sort of put him more in the middle of the six-yard box and said, just be free.
Drogba used to do it a bit to a certain extent when you played alongside him.
Yeah, I think Kurt's so dominant size-wise, he can jump and powerful and an area where a lot of balls come into and teams do hone in on that.
So I think Kurt being in there has a huge responsibility to head anything that's around him.
Frank, you predicted it.
We are going to talk about Christian Pulisic.
In terms of the goals that he scored, you'd be delighted for him to get off the mark.
In terms of his overall performance, did the first one sum it up a bit?
Because he was so determined that he was going to make the best of that situation.
Yeah, he did.
And it was so quick to get on it for the chance.
It was bright with the all-first half, getting away from people, as I say, picking the ball up in those areas.
And when he actually gets his goal here, I was a bit worried.
I thought, go on, go for goal from the angle where I was.
