3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
When attackers stay on the touchline, the defence stretches sideways to cover, opening gaps in the centre and half-spaces. “Get width!” is one of the most common shouts from the bench.
Analysts say“Both wide men hold real width, so the central space keeps opening up.”
