I'm not nearly tactically savvy enough to explain why but it was fucking amazing how regularly we found ourselves in acres of space. It was almost as if they had had 2 players sent off or something.
I don't claim to be a an expert, but it looks like a balls-up from Howe. I think they'd been told to press Doug as he brought it out, knowing that we play it out from the back.
Buendia and Ramsey then split just behind Guimares. Given Doug is better at finding an angled pass than anyone else we have, he then just chooses one or the other to put it through to, and all of a sudden we had Watkins, Buendia, Ramsey and Moreno all running at their defence without any of their midfield in the way.
