Our style of football looks great, and broke all the records last year but against a really good team, playing at their best, we were beaten three times.
-Have we changed enough or improved enough to avoid that happening again?
-Or does the high press, leaving spaces behind us because we’re so adamant that we want to win the ball back high up the field, mean quick dynamic atttacks are always going to threaten us?

We defend as a team, and against most it is hugely successful, but we do it as high up the pitch as possible. Liverpool however, who still defend as a team, seem to want to get everyone back behind the ball and defend with a solid unit even if that’s in their own last third. That seems to then allow the other team to come forward more, and give Liverpool more spaces to attack when they do win it back.

I’d just like to see more pragmatism from us, more acknowledgement that against teams with pace and quality up front, it’s more secure to defend deeper for spells, and to have a solid wall built in front of our goal, than rely on us winning the ball back high up the pitch when we have big spaces behind ours.
