The Tbirds defenders need to take a couple steps off the line and get out strong for their centre passes. The Firebirds defenders are very effective at being in front for first phase and have great closing speed/footwork on the first ball contest. Atm the WD and GD for Tbirds are jogging to level with the centre circle then trying to create something or drive for the ball and its clogging the attackers and confusing things hence why we’re seeing Dwan and Dunkley get so much ball. The Firebirds thrive on confusion where they can have a fly at things.
