"Over here! Keep an eye out!"
He often directed the players to transfer the ball to the right side, with a very clear intent to strike at a specific point.

In the 19th minute of the match, Charlie Adam received a through ball here and broke into the penalty area, sweeping the ball towards the center with one kick.
Thankfully, Vermaelen reacted quickly, using his body to hold off Andy Carroll, managing to intercept it and clear the ball over the baseline first.
The ensuing corner kick was again headed away by him, but the ball was quickly controlled by Liverpool, targeted again at Jenkinson's defensive area.
