It's also the challenge I think when subs come on and change the game. matched

That's on both sides, whether the opposition bring on more forwards, you change your personnel, um because the big thing and they had issues I think at Bournemouth when he first came in. matched

They didn't have great results at at the start of a couple of seasons because he's saying we're trying to embed these ideas and the big part of it is not just the first line of pressure going, the stride matched

striker, it's what the players behind them do. matched

So what we'd say are kind of the second or the third lines of pressure. matched

So the midfield to centre backs, because if a striker is vacating a midfielder that they're marking to go and press a centre back, well someone needs to come and fill and cover that man that they were already kind of defending. matched

So it's how they kind of what we'd say is jumps. matched

So players all kind of in a um coordinated fashion. matched

One goes to press someone, someone else follows up behind them. matched

And this is a good example we've got matched

Um again from letting the coma game of them not really doing that very well. matched

footwork, I thought. matched

I listened to recovery. matched

Yes, yeah, matched

And the risk is worth the reward as far as Eroda's concern. matched

That brought him so much success at Bournemouth over a number of years because once you kind of get these principles embedded, it comes to a point where you then don't need to coach it from the sidelines anymore. 'Cause as Rob's saying, you can't really coordinate ten outfielders to make all the movements at once. matched

They need to know, okay, when the striker goes, if I'm the midfielder, then I jump up and then the centre back's gonna step up behind me. matched

And it might take them a period of time to kind of get that trained, but if you can matched

then it starts to kind of serve itself. matched

You don't then need to kind of keep going back to it because a lot of teams are going to build up in similar ways in the Premier League. matched
