On this week's episode, Michael, Tom and Ali explain why left-footed centre-backs are in vogue and why they are so difficult to defend against. They discuss why Ajax are the blueprint of the model, how Mikel Arteta’s arrival at Arsenal helped shaped the debate and which clubs would benefit most from adding a left-sided centre-half to their squad. Tom points to Pablo Mari’s Arsenal debut against West Ham earlier this year as a strong case study for the discussion.
