I think there’s times in recent games that we’ve ended up with too many players forward, and in turn that means the defenders tend to play it back and make the safe pass. We’re seeing fewer triangles being created on the pitch, Odegaard isn’t getting as close to Saka and Martinelli often ends up isolated on the left.

It’s great that Saliba and Gabriel are comfortable on the ball but I feel the midfield leaves far too much build up to them.
