The key player for me is Declan Wright.
He's been magnificent for Arsenal since he's been there, and he's probably in that position one of the best in the world at the moment.
Because too many teams don't understand that the way to play football is to pass it forward and get as many runners in behind as you possibly can.
When there's chance to play the ball forward, too many teams still pass square and backwards.
They switch the player and they've got open space to run into and they go back again.
So even though the defending's not good enough, sometimes teams don't play forward enough.
There's not enough forward runs and that's why you get some boring 0-0 draws.
Not so much because of the good defending, but the teams in possession aren't positive enough.
