I think the point he was making was he felt charlton got a boost from the fact they’d made Bielsa change his formation as it’s something he rarely does so felt they had the upper hand.
Kind of... If teams look at us and think how do we take Phillips out of the game, IF they see him as a playmaker from the back, if it is a space they would like to expose what do they need to do? Start the game with one up front and 10 minutes in play two up front. They know the moment they go two up front Phillips will drop into a back three as instructed by Bielsa.
