Minhosa Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Interesting shift in role/system when Ferguson came on. Don't know if it would have been as clear from the TV but at the ground it looked like he went man to man on Ferguson which nullified him but also left massive gaps at the back, with Botman literally following him into his own half at times. Clearly something they'd pre-planned. Also, what a beast this fella is. For his first season in England, he's been fucking brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I thought Schar did the same thing with Welbeck often in the first half. brifhton have this tactic of overloading the middle. Striker drops deep. Wingers invert. Fullbacks push-up. So there’s 5-6 players up against a defensive line of 4/5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Good centre backs go in pairs and compliment each other. Botman and Schar both have different attributes but they gel and get the best out of each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 him and schar fucked up on the brighton goal mind. we could see it coming from the gallowgate. striker was unmarked in a massive space between the CB'S and shouting for the ball. easy pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Howe looked at how Man Utd stopped them for inspiration, but obviously added some top pressing into the mix too. Their goal came from us leaving a big gap there but it worked for the rest of the night, and if Burn was in line with Schar it wouldn’t have happened anyway.

Aye the goal was just down to a Burn lapse in concentration which happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Thought Schar had a bit of a shaky game, but both CBs were being asked to do quite a complicated job. Edited May 19, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are rarely going to be sure where your LB is if you play RCB. If no attacker is near you and you are a fullback, you shouldn't be playing anyone onside. The only way I would blame Schar is if he came charging out and nobody else followed. But it was just BDB sleeping again. He's prone to that. But was superb on the night otherwise.

Aye, but you can't set an offside line if one of your fullbacks is sitting deep. Schar has to see that. He was out of position and it's even worse if he tried to play their striker offside when he had a clear line of sight to Burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
