We wwill have to adapt but so will our opponents. We're getting a reputation for these goals now, and that's going to mean teams start trying to occupy those spaces, which creates space elsewhere. We just need to have the players be composed and confident enough to adapt their play to the game and start exploiting the new gaps that open up. I think that's exactly what we're training them to do because we can score the simpler goals when we see a less crowded box as we've done a couple of times.
I think this is the key. Even the worst teams in the PL have top analysts able to identify strengths of opposition. We've seen a lot of stodgy games over the last year as teams defend deep and crowd the middle of the pitch to deny our passing lanes.
It makes sense to take advantage of that, and I'm sure that Emery will have a plan for when teams inevitably set 2 or 3 players to rush at players just outside the box.
