What's been interesting is that it's not like he's sat between the two central defenders when he gets the ball.  The full backs push on and then one of Chambers or Mings goes across to a full back role.

The classic van Gaal Ajax way of defending. In training he would have the defenders tied together with rope and if a full back went forward the other would move across to make a back three. They did it with all players so each player knew their role when one side attacked. In many ways it's Pep's style after learning from can Gaal at Barca.
