But you're quite right to reference Leeds in terms of what Daniel Farker has done going to that back five.

It's rejuvenated Leeds and it'll be a tough one.

The atmosphere will be white hot at Elland Road.

But they've got to do it.

They've got to respond and Arsenal normally do.

And that is the challenge ahead of these players.

I expect them to be...

No, we haven't.

And I just felt they were so well organised.

They initially came into the game with a really good defensive structure.

The two wide men were dropping back into a back six and literally denying any spaces for Arsenal to play.

Arsenal are so good in the pockets normally.

And at that time, you're thinking, OK, this is a great defensive structure, but you're going to have to be an offensive threat.

Otherwise, you're going to have to defend for the whole 90 minutes.

So you thought, this can't continue.

Michael Carrick then in the second half recognised that.

The message would have been, stay in the game.

Don't give yourself a mountain to climb early on at the Emirates, because Arsenal will run all over you.

He made the change in that second half.

Then Amad Diallo and Dorgu started playing more advanced, more in support of Mbwemo.
