I think someone post something about high balls from deep (ooo-er!) being easier to deal with than from out wide so that shorter defenders with decent timing can still be effective.
Maybe the plan is to use Kerkez and Frimpong's speed to reduce the amount of crosses coming in. If we can then Guehi's other attributes might more than make up for the 54% win percentage on headers.
Or something
That was a big moment. If Gakpo had dropped or just stopped playing, I'm convinced it would have been a red card. I'm all for staying on your feet when you can, but not against those guys.
I was going to write something about how unusual it is to have a completely injury free squad at this stage of the season, but then I remembered the Gods .
So I won't mention it.
