Match report
Elite group hold a strong away side in a three-at-the-back system
A 2–2 draw in an unfamiliar back three — deliberately trialled in a competitive fixture as part of the elite group's tactical-flexibility objective.
Both goals came from the wide overloads the system is designed to create, and the two conceded came from the transitional risk it carries. Both were reviewed with the group in the following session.
