He knows exactly where Dogu is.
He has a little look.
Absolutely perfect.
He can see the ball, but he can see the man.

And this is not me having a dig at him because I've been in that situation where you switch off.
And the way Man City play, they go really high.
But in that midfield area, especially with young players at the back, you need that protection.
So if you're in that middle, you've got to stop it.
Yeah, I mean, Alain, I thought he was very good in the first half and he gets subbed in the second half.
But when you're analysing and you're looking at Man United,
there was going to have a big performance.
Carrick, the energy was going to be there.
We knew that.
But you're thinking tactically, how are Man United going to open up City?
