How each Premier League team pass

From Manchester City's symmetry to Manchester United's compactness, what do passing networks tell us about teams?

Thanks for posting that mate. I found it really interesting, especially as it shows that Pep has gone back to old school tactics when we have the ball.

Clearly playing a W W formation with the ball, which I think I’m correct in saying was the standard original formation for teams?

Your mention of the 'W formation' reminded me of John Burridge's response to a question regarding Wolves' (his then team) tactical approach/formation.. 'Formation? Oh, we use the 'W plan'.. if it comes in our area, we welly it upfield..!'

Thank goodness things have moved on a touch since then.. and most of all, thank goodness for Pep being here with us! Also, thanks to 'DruntBlunt' for posting.. fascinating stuff!

Compare with United's.

Let’s hope Haaland gets some more frequent service from our wingers ;-)
