Manager. I get the idea; don't invite pressure by giving the ball back continuously by punting upfield except its giving the ball back continuously in our box lol
Reckon he thought I've stuck a beautiful one in the top already so that's probably that one done for the night - law of averages - so I'll try something else.
idea beng that you invite them to press you high and if you're good at it you can pick them off one at a time as 99% of teams don't press as a team. They tend to go as indivuals. Then you can play around each person as they press and move your way up the pitch. Obviously if you give the ball away or you get a team like Barca who all press together then it makes it twice as hard.
Jonjo's positioning is awful, defensively. Downing is having a great game. His delivery has been quality.
This, we do it all the time, even when under massive pressure like Enrique was just then, when it's potentially lethal.
Zenit have commited 12 fouls and the only yellow they have got was for standing too close to a free kick FFS
To be fair, have only had half a season trying ti play from the back this much. It takes time and certain personnel to be able to do it - BR's trying to do it with a back 5 that he has inherited and hasn't added to yet.
