Obviously we want to play from the back and we tried it a few times today, with some various results. We need to be brave and try to play and that starts from the back with me, David and Harry [Maguire]. So I’m just trying to that do myself from the back and try to build it up from the back and give the ball to the front players because those are the ones that should have the ball and those are the ones that can create chances for us."
