He added: “It's very difficult when Jude's got the freedom of the pitch and Phil is having to go from pressing out wide, to coming in midfield. He's playing with Trippier, who's not right-footed, he needs Shaw to go and overlap so he can get those combinations. Marcus Banks is a social media editor for SPORTbible.
