    how is he with crossing? more than an overlapping fb, I think we need somebody who can deliver balls from the half space, especially on the right. Doesn’t seem like Odegaard is that guy, so might need it from fullback. Although I’m not sure many fullbacks can do it effectively enough that its worth having that as a consistent strategy, or if that’ more just Trent. Would need more of a trent than a cedric.

    I guess the idea with an overlapper is that saka could sort of occupy that space more, and he’s quite good there, but I do think there’s opportunity in the RHS with all the attention that saka gets.

      Saka is already in the half space. Everyone is in the half space, which is why we’re easy to defend ATM. We need to play to the widths and stretch teams. We’re not occupying space
