Gave more space to Nagbe & Zawadzki – dared them to take the game by the scruff and win it – in order to allow less runway for the wingbacks when they received passes. We don't have tracking data anymore but if we did I'd bet my life it shows Arfsten and Farsi (and Jones) receiving on the run much less often than in the first 2/3s of the year.
What did teams change about how they played the Crew in the last third of season?
