Have, have teams figured him out a little bit in terms of what he wants to do, or is that again too kind of easy a thing to say after what we've seen?

I mean, if you look at Middlesbrough, they create chances.

They do create chances.

Um, they needed, they needed another striker basically.

And you know, they did go after a striker in January.

They tried to get one in, but ultimately they couldn't get in who they wanted, whether that was down to money, whether that was down to, to wages, uh, as well.

Um, we mentioned it last week on the podcast about Sergej Jakirović and the reason he was brought in and-

week.Yeah, it's been strange for them.

And, uh, look, I, I, I've heard a lot of, um, people in the game just saying what, what will Southampton have learned from, from spying on Middlesbrough in that training session? And we were just having a chat there before we started and, you know, I, I, I spoke to someone very, very high up at Middlesbrough who was there that day.

I spoke to them the day after it happened because we were doing the playoff first leg, and they said it's, it's match day minus two, as they call it.

They're doing their tactical work.

Um, and, uh, the person there from Southampton saw, uh, how they were gonna press Southampton.

They saw how they were gonna play out against Southampton's press, and they also saw how they were gonna try and deal with Finneas Az.

... of the second leg against Southampton.
