00:19Beautiful sunshine, it is our understanding that they've gone with a 4-5-1

00:26Well this set up Peter can be very defensive if that midfield is in place purely to form a protective layer in front of the back four

00:35But it can also be the launch pad to very quick counter attacks if you can offer pace and accuracy on the front foot

00:43It can have a devastating effect actually

00:47Well we're on the way

00:51Quite a looking ball that

00:58Well timed, excellent interception

01:11Lofted upfield

01:19Up towards the front line, oh that's well spotted

01:25And it's played forward

01:30He's got away

01:32Well now here's a good battle, bicep to bicep

01:38Can he finish?

01:41He's in out of harm's way

01:47Gently done

01:50Played forward

01:54He's gone for a throw

02:03Oh no, no circumventing this opponent

02:11Well played, that has snuffed out the danger

02:18Now that's been intercepted

02:21Shifted upfield

02:24Played out to the left flank, calmly anticipates

02:32Forwards and with intent, that has been cut short

02:38He's played it long

02:46Pouring through the gears

02:59And that is played back to front

03:05Sends it forward

03:11Can he get on to this?

03:13Nicely intercepted

03:16He's had it taken off him

03:20And can he put it away?

03:24And he nearly went all the way

03:26Well we can't question the quality of the run, he'll have to answer for the rest

03:46Oh that's a key interception

03:48Moved forward and quickly so

03:52And the whistle goes

03:55So off we go once more

03:58A tight old game so far, can that change now?

04:06There really wasn't very much in that, not far away from being a telling final ball

04:12Look, the game is full of ifs and buts, if only the past could have completed its journey

04:32It's pretty clear that the defence have decided that the greatest threat to them at the moment, Peter, are people trying to just run at them

04:40Run at them and I suppose beyond them, Jim

04:43Yeah, particularly late runners into the box, that's what you don't want, they're very dangerous to any defence

04:54Takes on his marker

04:58Cross deflected behind for a corner

05:09Climbs up big

05:12He will be living with himself

05:14That was good defensive pressure to give him less manoeuvring room

05:26Moved on forwards

05:30Long ball looking to counter

05:39Good running, strong and purposeful

05:42He's in a good position, decent hit!

05:46And another time!

05:57And he's forced to go back

05:59That's a mighty looking ball that

06:18And he's in on, compares the hit!

06:21He's got away with one there, that's just front foot enforcement

06:25Pressure leads to mistake, leads to chance

06:32Fiddles it through, he's in plenty of space here

06:45Oh, super ball!

06:54And there goes the final whistle
