Not necessarily!! More likely is that the team has had lots of coaching on defending, that we had a semi-settled defence, and/or we are playing a system which now suits him better – ie he is able to overlap down the left, rather than be left to fill in the void Max left behind.
Max not playing is allowing White to show his attacking qualities more. Pugh playing is allowing White to be more confident when he wants to go forward. Pugh is making the defence more solid down the left, and therefore offering White a bit more protection. These are all other possibilities – as I keep trying to say, football is not that simple – defenders don’t get better the more games they play, not even young defenders. Ben Parker being a case in point!!
