Thats not an accurate description of how the team pressed
then explain why all three midfielders were pressing on the same side of the pitch just before their goal. Endo, Jones, Mac in a 15y radius. one pass and they’re all out of position, nobody is following Eze into the box. basic stuff here.
Did that last night the ball broke for us and there was about 5 players in such a tiny space
Again inaccurate summary.
The key breakdown was in not continuing with the press and the transition defending which allowed the space for the LB to get behind the defence
Press was over bro. It’s not a press when you’re in your own third. Keep trying tho
You are not paying attention. The key pass was that wall pass to release the LB, by which time the transition defending had inexplicably stopped.
The problem had more to do with transition defending than the pressing system.
The pass to Eze does not happen if the transition defending had continued to prevent the wall pass to the LB. That was the key breakdown.
Again, its not about the pressing system. Eze getting the ball is the final piece of this…
did you go back to the Andersen switch? not sure how you’re calling this “transition defending” when the ball was in our half for 60sec once Allison booted it out of bounds. watch the game clock, starts at 12:20 we don’t touch the ball for 60 sec. ball chasing midfielders…
