The system is designed to create overloads in possession. The Jackson goal was the first time the ball was played inside from wide. The ball almost always goes to the width through Cucurella to Sancho to stretch the space made by the width. But that time the ball was played through to Caicedo to catch Liverpool out, which it did. Remember against West Ham Caicedo played an almost identical ball for Jackson to score a very similar goal. The inverted full back gives us five against four usually in midfield with the GK also adding as a Central defender to give us a back four again instead of three. The width stretches the play to open up the passing lanes between our wide men and midfield. See against Wolves a huge space opened for Neto to burst in to and pull back for a Felix finish from the edge of the box. When you see it it’s quite easy to understand it. The overload allows us to press in numbers fast and hard, so knowing it and stopping it is two different things. Have a good season boys after next week of course
Great video Philip mate ⚽️
Glad you enjoyed it
