I'm okay with that, because I tell you what, it's nice to see the lack of... It's not a negative...
press conference and chat with Ruben Amorim with his chin on the floor, which at least that's a start.
It's almost like the programme to do a certain thing.
Because Arsenal play in triangles like a lot of these teams.
Little boxes, little triangles, these little one-twos.
And it's always like when the ball goes out to Saka or a wide player, they have to have two or three players to be able to do that in that area.
But I go back to the point I made earlier, that that just crowds the area out for technical players like Saka.
If I had a good wide player who I thought had the full back on toast, I am making sure nobody's going, I'm making sure I'm firing the ball out to him and I am telling everybody else, isolate him.
But I don't see that from, it's not just Arsenal, I don't see that from teams now.
It's almost like, well, this is how we do it, so we've got to go and do it this way, whereas I'm wanting to rely on the individual skill of certain players
If I'm a central midfielder, I'm getting him, him, and him with the scruff of the neck and say, when I play that ball out to him, I don't want you within 20 yards of that player because he's got one-on-one with the full-back and he's going to beat him nine times out of ten.
I see everybody running over like it's a school playground.
You remember all the kids used to run over?
