It's leaving the far-side Hiroshima wingback in a lot of open space, mainly exploited on the left so far.

While he's only been in the job a matter of days, some tweaks are already there.

With the demands of 3 games per week, and while he's still learning about the personnel he has to work with, it might be a while before we see Ange's principles fully implemented.

Nuno's idea was for the first pressing line, usually Wood and Gibbs-White, to screen central access through the #6's and force play wide.

So far with Ange, he wants Wood to curve his runs and pressure the CB's, while the midfielders screen the #6's.

Another example came not long after, when Arsenal moved the ball backwards before progressing against the momentum of the Forest midfield.

Arsenal's rotations and movements consistently took advantage not only of the space vacated, but also to drag their markers into suboptimal defensive areas, stretching Forest's shape.

Forest's line of engagement was higher than in previous weeks, as they looked to disrupt Arsenal's build-up with the midfielders being more man-oriented.

This opens up large spaces between the lines while the defensive line stays zonal, and it can also isolate one of the #6's (Anderson above).

With the GK's involvement and the CB's pushed wider, it means the Auckland #9's have more ground to cover.

Brimmer jumping to the #6 allows more freedom for the #9's to put pressure on the CB's.

Or, like other set-piece scenarios, take it before the opponent has time to get into shape.

No offsides from goal kicks.

Space is created for a simple third-man combination and 2 passes can potentially bypass the front 4 players.

— Move and REACT as a collective.

In this moment the #9 jumps to the CB on the ball and his teammates only respond reactively (after the pass is played), instead of jumping/shifting simultaneously.

If a player jumps to apply pressure to the ball and his teammates don't react at the same time, they will stretch their own shape and create gaps for the opposition to play through. It can get even uglier if 2-3 players jump and those behind don't follow.

You will sacrifice some possession by leaving your #9 in a 1v3, but this can help nullify the opposition’s most dangerous players while maintaining compact distances for ball recoveries.
