Yes, but previously, when McLean dropped between Norwich's CBs, he left Sara alone

in midfield. This created a 3-1 build-up structure; a shape that left Norwich vulnerable to counter attacks after turnovers.

Against Millwall, Norwich were often able to create a 3-2 build-up structure. A 3-2 structure provides more security during defensive transitions, additional passing options between the lines, and better connections into the final third.

I'm so good at analysis.
