They've got attacking kind of players out out on the wings. matched

The danger ones probably are from Mason Clark are really good kind of both ways, can go inside, can go outside as a winger. matched

But I think they'll fit the Premier League quite well because kind of what we spoke about in terms of the directness, the physicality, the set pieces, they're all things that they're good at already. matched

They don't really have to kind of I think rip their style up in the way people spoke about matched

Maybe Southampton or other teams before when they came up, or or even Burnley kind of playing a very specific style that this is kind of fairly ready-made Premier League football. matched

Um one of the best set piece teams in the league last season, they've got a long throw taker, um, Van Ewijk, their uh right back, really good long throws as well. matched

Um, not kind of I think Rob will be pleasantly surprised when he watches them because he gets a good bit of distance on them, does drop them into the box, and and a nice high defensive line as well. matched

If people remember Villa a couple years ago. matched

And that back four, they don't always press too aggressively at the front, but the back four stays really, really high. matched

They catch teams offside a lot, which has worked really well in the championship. matched

I'm intrigued to see if that works in the Premier League in the same way when you've got some really good fast forwards up top. matched

Um, yeah, how much they stick with that. matched

I think kind of watch this space. matched

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure is the short answer. matched

But what we do know is there's been a lot of variety in pre season. matched

They've ended it kind of playing a three four three, the kind of shape he had at Leverkusen with those real flying wing backs. matched

But I think a system like that needs the right personnel. matched

I mean, you can say that about any system, but specifically having those like real athletes out wide that can cover a lot of ground, quality wide players. matched

Um it was, you know, Grimaldo and Frimpong and part of the reason why I think um Frimpong's not looked as good at Liverpool is because matched

It's not quite the same role. matched
