Teams giving goals away, like the amazing thing about that goal, the Havertz goal, where he tackles the ball into the net, like you never used to see this.
It was the second time in the game
that that had happened.
Like Haaland nearly did the same thing a couple of minutes earlier to Raya.
Like these risks are like way out of whack with whatever benefit build-up play, you know, more structured build-up play is supposedly bringing.
Like the teams have gone mad with this stuff.
Do you think maybe there needs to be some rebalancing with this, Jamie, in terms of... I've talked about the casual way the teams now concede goals that would have been considered catastrophic bloopers and just like, well, that's just...
That's just what happens now.
It's just the cost of doing business, which just annoys me.
But also, this has created a way of playing.
I mean, I used the phrase earlier, like attacking by defending, which is what Arsenal were doing.
So, Arsenal actually scored their goal from...
A rugby style David Raya punt which went out by the corner flag.
And then everyone comes to lock in on the City throw.
And they're like, okay, what are you going to do?
And City decide, or Nunez decides, okay, everyone here is marked.
But we've got a free man over there.
And I've been told, find the free man at all costs.
That's what our game is.
So I'm going to pass to the goalkeeper here.
