Although in similar territory as she would have been at City, Park is now in a situation where she is the player with the most space to carry possession goalwards.
Playing at LW during this moment, Park works the space to invert into the midfield and score from distance. [5/8]

However, this goal serves as the best example of Park's role at United and where it differs.
She receives the ball at the halfway line, and is currently higher up the pitch to serve the counter-attack than Terland, Malard and Naalsund. [4/8]

At United, Park's role is already more free. Or as Skinner describes, less "constrained".
Her assist for Malard sees her receive the ball in a higher position than usual, allowing her to take the space and play a short pass into Malard for the goal. [3/8]

Another near exact moment against Brighton where Park turns in to evade her defender, carries the possession into midfield, and plays the ball through to Bunny Shaw.
The way City play, the reliance on Park's role was to serve the forwards forward. [2/8]

At City, Park was almost always utilised as the 'middle man' going forward. Her primary role was to receive the ball deep in the channel around halfway, gain the territory herself, and then play through to the forwards (Usually Shaw)
See this example vs Leicester... [1/8]

Martin Ho tells me that Cathinka Tandberg is a “young, creative and dynamic” player.
Adds that her addition to the squad adds different profiles to the Tottenham front line, aiming to “cause the opposition different problems”.

If you had told me 2 years ago when I was watching the Wolfsburg semi final at 4am in Melbourne that I would be reporting live from Emirates Stadium on Sky News after Arsenal won the Champions League, I would’ve laughed in your face.
Honoured, this has been the best year of my life. ❤️
