What He Gives Orient

RoleRight Touchline route-to-goal outlet

Fin Stevens is involved early, but too much of that possession still dies before it hurts anyone.

He should be judged on territory, isolation quality and whether the next pass or run arrives around him.
System DependencyNeeds the inside bounce

The defender read is whether his first and second passes reduce pressure or simply move it elsewhere. In this sample he produced 14.0 progressive passes p90, while 11% of deep passes led to pressure.

Deep passes that found an inside connection: 32%; deep passes dying before pressure: 83%.
RiskNot a free pass defensively

Because so much build-up is routed through his zone, poor spacing around him can make his turnovers look worse than they are.

111 losses in the sample, with 4 becoming dangerous transition leaks.
