The uptick in Balde's form is largely his own doing, better concentration and better scanning before a cross(runs from the second line or first, cutback or a drive) but our left flank dynamics also have seemingly improved by some degree, there's a greater emphasis on using...
@markstatsbot the left flank more since the Atleti game, better pass connections and an active attempt for Balde to be an arriving factor with enough passing options on that side. This is also perhaps tied to our performances seeing improvement since the turn of the year, with only one...
@markstatsbot draw and six wins in the past 7 games. The overdependence of the team on the right side, on Lamine's flank made us a bit more predictable, especially for the opponent defensively but there's been a shift for the good.
@markstatsbot More xAG, more SCA's and eventually more GCA's, Balde's hit his best run of form since the 22/23 season. This doesn't mean there's not room for improvement, there is but with better coaching and subtle tactical changes, we can get more out of our players, we already have.
