00:00 best we've seen so far of him

00:02 Farke

00:05 Highlighted after the game that yeah, he might have been a bit underwhelming

00:08 In his previous starts at eight, but this was him playing at six, you know, this was him doing the amp a do role

00:17 Where he's the deep lion one and it's a bit more of a natural fit for him

00:22 and

00:24 He did look like a natural fit, you know, everything's caveated with yeah Cardiff were awful

00:29 But grew ever I thought

00:31 Was just he and Camara

00:33 Were always there. Mm-hmm, you know, they were

00:36 there was only maybe one or two scenarios in the entire game where

00:41 Leads looked in any way exposed to a counter or in any way out of shape

00:47 Camara just seems to have that in his game that he he reads it and knows where he needs to be next

00:54 If if the move breaks down if the ball comes out to the edge of the box

00:58 If an opponent gets a foot in Camara just always seems to be around

01:01 He's got great mobility as well to put himself there. But grew I've had that as well at Cardiff and

01:07 And I thought we started to see a bit more of an expansive passing game from him than we've seen previously as well previously

01:15 It's been like very short passes, you know, not a great deal of adventure

01:20 Mostly sideways and back retaining the ball, but not particularly progressing it at Cardiff. I thought he was a lot more progressive

01:27 And I'm not gonna look into the statistics in case they don't don't bear me out in case they contradict me

01:33 I'm just gonna have that thought and run with it

01:36 He definitely played the ball forwards longer a few times than he has previously

01:41 But he's good. He was just very good
