"I was a little surprised Chair essentially took the Field role when we didn't have the ball - dropping deeper alongside Field who took the 'Varane' position, and Morgan was still being the one to press"
I thought - guessed, really - that that was because being on the right Morgan was closer to Beck (he's got the Devil's Haircut) and he was a real danger man, so Morgan could press him quickly while Chair dropped quickly to left-centre mid to stop the overload from the cross-field ball.
"His work rate is undeniable, tracking back and doing the dirty work. Great balance of flair and graft and would love to see more of him there now we have genuinely decent options out wide."
That was the key last night, I think? If the 10 doesn't help out in central midfield we get overrun, as we did earlier in the season time and time again.
Chair was everwhere last night, particularly in the first half.
