Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Yes. They also move the ball more slowly in their own half (as counter-intuitive as that sounds), which is another way of saying what you said, which is inviting the opposition on to them. They also have the "passer from deep" in TAA, who is able to get the ball moving quickly when they spot a hole (a la Partey at his best) and a carrier in Gravenberch (we don't really have an equivalent). They press much less (rank 20th in total distance covered per 90 this season, compared to 9th in 2023/24) and have their attackers much higher than ours. Finally, they utilize the entire pitch and not just the flanks, as we seem to do. But for VVD's great form this season, they would have conceded far more than us as well, but they haven't quite.
