But if you're on the opposite side of the pitch and can go down the byline, go on the outside and kind of drill across a bit more or whip across, I think it gives kind of different solutions up against defenses. matched

It's something I was shocked at matched

Thomas Deacle didn't try more during the World Cup when we had Bellingham and had Kane and was those real kind of penalty area threats. matched

So I don't know if we will see that. matched

I'd like to see it and I hope Rob's on the same side as him either. matched

Absolutely no idea what the number is. matched

Funny sorry for this, we actually tried quantifying kind of I think headers or header kind of contacts uh um at some point during last season, try and work out things like header clearances, aerial jewels, header passes. matched

But I think some of them kind of get coded as similar things, so it's actually quite hard to get an exact number on total number of headers. matched

I mean the classic example being last summer the the matched

The Isaac cycle went on for so long that Newcastle started the season playing a back three and had Anthony Gordon up top because that was their solution with the players that they had. matched

They didn't yet have a solution to a player that they were quite clearly going to sell but hadn't yet sold. matched
