Appreciate it. There's one on Marco Silva, too, I recommend others to watch that one as well so it's better understood how he used his two defensive mids (more like 8s) and CBs to spring his attack from the outside. Otherwise, I'd watch the 3-2 Arsenal match when he managed Olympiakos to see how obessed he was with counter attacking at certain places.

In particular, I would recommend watching tactics on Pep to understand how his line plays in support of possession based football, Klopp and gegenpressing to understand the counter press and high line as a result, and Simeone to understand how he pushes his line up a bit higher than your typical counter attacking coach to condense the space in his own half when defending. He doesn't play a high line, but that's about the closest you will see to one in a counter attacking team.

But yeah, it's pretty obvious that we don't intend on high pressing or playing a high line in support of that for any duration of time. We may press high every now and then, as EVERYONE does sometimes, but you won't see it often.[/MEDIA]

Mate its a moot point until Silva gets in players in wants at the back and at DM or at least till the players can play the system he wants.

Thanks guys, I will add that if the line is really 'high' by the definition of Sacchi being the attack and defence 25metres apart vertically; this would mean if Everton's attack are on the edge of the Valencia box, our defence should be just ahead of the centre-circle in the Valencia half.
 
Most uninspiring central midfield partnership since Neville and Heitinga. Need someone who can actually pass.
 
How long do we think before the stream goes down today?

And will it be due to

A. The heat
B. Brexit
C. Somebody’s unplugged the power to switch on the fax machine

Answers on a postcard.
