So the likes of Frenkie de Jong, the likes of Fermin Lopez, who have been absolutely magnificent in recent weeks going forward, had no impact on the game whatsoever because the game was being played at too quick a pace for them and they didn't like it at all.
But they're not a difficult team to play against.
We say every week, they're getting away with this against this sort of side.
When they come up against the very best teams in Europe, and Chelsea at the moment are a very good team, their defensive strategy is going to be caught out.
Even when they're down to 10 in the third goal, the two players on the right-hand side, Eric Garcia was playing at right-back in the centre-half,
they just allow the space for the ball to be played in between.
There's no recovery runs whatsoever.
And Fernandes makes the run.
The timing of the pass is good.
It's too easy.
You cannot defend like that.
To be a top-class side, you have to defend well as going forward.
I think...
Teams weren't used to it, so teams didn't plan so much for it, which they should have done after about three weeks.
We could say, look at the high line that Barcelona are playing.
But teams kept on getting caught offside and ran too early.
Now teams are looking at it and coaches are looking at it and saying, this is easy to break down.
We only have to play first time, balls in behind them, front players, don't make your run until the ball's played.
We can hit switches of play and get on the big diagonal.
And they're not doing it as well.
