It's also a a game state factor.
But they've really struggled defending balls in behind.
Fulham exploited it really, really well, um, kind of those direct balls into the channel, getting wingers running in behind, um tell Bryce and Paul to go back.
to basically make a game of it at Stamford Bridge, getting the striker in behind.
Um they've got very athletic centre backs, I think, but it's playing that really aggressive high line, going man for man, like Rob says, when those three centre backs are all locking on.
It's it's hard to do.
Yeah, you've you've got to get that.
we I mean we've seen Arsenal be quite quirky with their fullbacks for quite a while under Arteta, kind of going through similar kind of evolutions to kind of City and Guadiola where there was the kind of the Z the Zinchenko profile of kind of many years ago playing that basically an extra midfielder that would come inside, um, then go into kind of bigger guys and you know, centre backs out wide and being really physical, and now kind of somehow finding the best of both worlds, I think, where Calafiore is the physical.
Eyes of a centre back, looks really capable, um, but really, really technically secure, um, really high level, can play with his back to goal.
Um, we've got a really good touch map as well that we can show to kind of illustrate um just kind of how central his touches were um and the role that he played in the in the lead up to the goal.
Um, where he doesn't actually touch the ball in that sequence until he's setting up um Saka to score.
Um and it's a move we saw from Arsenal, I think, a few years ago.
um when they were kind of chasing City and um had some really good kind of cutback moves, Odegaard would get a lot of goals.
Um and it's a real important method of creation, especially for a team that
haven't kind of got that out and out striker that's always going to get them kind of the the kind of Haaland goal return.
You say, Okay, this is where you can get your wingers in the box, your midfielders, and you can really chip them with goals that way.
play.
And this is why it will be a really great matchup against Chelsea, because what Rob's talking about there would like term it rest defence.
So kind of how you structure your defenders behind the ball.
Um and that's done to prevent counterattacks.
