Lewis Orford likes to organise, to keep things ticking, wants to be involved. He's in some ways like a little kid always staying close to the ball so he can be passed to. It's a great trait to have and makes teams better. Fantastic kid.
Tottenham spent all that money to be left with a team without elite players (maybe Porro).
- M. Fernandes is close
- Tonali in the right environment
- Savinho, Moore & Gray maybe eventually but still very far off
The rest is mid table Prem fodder
Hull City close off central spaces so well and when the ball goes wide they press aggressively. The wide CBs and wide midfielders help the WBs out. Promising start for a newly promoted team
Christos Tzolis really is incredible. Such a good temperament on the ball and while dribbling, connects really well with his teammates and a goal threat. Has a good burst too and holds off defenders well.
Basically a better Trossard
Arsenal players travel through zones (horizontally) when they have the ball which is a nightmare to defend against for a zonal OOP-structure. The next zone is always a safe space since the Coventry players don't follow
I'm not a fan of Kovacic as a lone pivot as it strips him of his best quality but given the players in the pitch probably the best option.
Why no double pivot with Anderson, as Tuchel played it with Rice/Anderson?
