However, as meaningless stats go, the games in which they featured together in this particular stat were almost all last season when we dropped our defensive line much deeper and played an awful lot of games lining up 4312 with 2 of the 3 sitting fairly deep (halfway between our box and the halfway line) for the vast majority of most of those games, which obviously isn't our normal way of playing
Fab is actually improving, it is almost as if he is finally and belatedly being coached
heaven forbid our coaches and analysis team do their job, he has improved an awful lot this season, he checks himself and his position quite frequently in games now in situations that in all past seasons and appearances he'd have gone blindly charging into
Interesting that a great many people, including commentary were incorrectly lavishing praise on Fab for getting the ball back prior to our second, it is very clear it was another Fab being caught out of position incident, the ball had him done, however, luckily for us, Elliott had positioned himself centrally covering Fab;s arse and his pressing the player made them turn back into Fab to enable him to tackle him, but for Elliott, their lads was long gone, absolute bonafide fact, go an watch it again
