Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [31st Aug - 1st September 2024]

[Bigpig]

At the start of last season (and the season before obviously), we were playing high-press, high-tempo with accuracy and confidence. We then had the injury crisis that affected our ability to play like that, but it feels like we’ve got (most) of the squad back and we’re still playing like we were when everyone was crocked (or knackered). I’m not sure what they have to do to get their spark back, but we can’t keep picking up points despite playing badly. Eventually we’re going to get found out. If Spurs could actually shoot we would have been in a lot of trouble this afternoon.

The lack of high press is to protect that back line. With Schar now back we should start to see it more as well as being able to play out better.

Warning signs there, Salah got between CB and left back. Looked a bit all over the shop.
