Historic comment but just saying...it does work!

I like a reasoned argument and I see your point...but I would persevere with trying to breed pressing into the way we play. I think some of our lads need to work on fitness, I think some need to switch on more but they all need to work on what they do without the ball. Pressing really works when done whole-heartedly with energy and focus. If you're playing a better team and you don't press then you're just giving them more time and space to show you up. I'd press every team, I agree with the counter-points that Chef has made. Good teams look better given time and space, so deprive them of both.

 

You can’t press for 90 minutes. Need to pick and choose your moments.
