Saturday brief
Full briefvs Coventry City FC · Fri, Aug 21, 2:00 PM CDT · likely 3-2-5
Mid-block, jump on backward passes into the 6. Weak side: Left back isolated 1v1 vs Saka.
- Newly promoted — sit in a 4-4-2 mid-block and wait for the recycle.
- They jump the 6 when the centre-back plays backwards. Zubimendi must receive on the half-turn.
- Left-back is the 1v1 they lose. Saka–White combinations should be the first look.
