Passed off the pitch by a team playing a short passing game and being at ease on the football. Few months ago that was Bristol City. The instruction given to Bristol City is to not attempt to play like that now. Fielding, Pisano, Wright, Flint were frequently banging balls long v desiring to keep it. If Bristol City want to pay a passing game look at the base and the Managers tactics.
We could not cope with their high press which exacerbated the issue. Also it shows how much we need Marlon
We could not cope with their high press ... The Manager did not attempt to. The team from kick off displayed little patience on the football or intent to keep it. A relatively high counter press (Brentford) represents also opportunity to create overloads in possession, players can be pulled out of possession ... Citys tactic was one, two, three wack. The team did miss Pack, but that highlights how thin this perception is of Bristol Citys passing football is.
