How many times against Manchester United did you see Tony Beltran, Demar Phillips or Danilo Acosta in the final third? I’d wager that was one of the bigger differences from what we’ve seen, though certainly we’ve been seeing it over the last two matches, too.
Mike Petke explained his take on pushing them forward:
I’ve talked about it since I took over, that I didn’t want to throw too much at the guys. It had to be a gradual step and a process, and the process came to a head right before the LA game where we really started pushing things.
