Pressing

[Everton1654]

These 2 teams play a different sport to us

 

[orly]

It's not only the pressing that's impressive...

Speed of play from the back...

Sharpness up front...

Intensity in midfield & general play...

Quality of both teams...

The thing is Marcus, Bayern have always played the same way - with the exception of when Guardiola was there, and the fans hated it. Fast full backs, fast and tricky wingers, at least one blammo artist up front. So when they go looking for players, they know what they want. When the youngsters come up, they know what they need to do.

We don't press. Well, sometimes we do. Sometimes just up front. Sometimes all over the pitch. But who knows?

There's not been an Everton way in decades.

Thought this was weight lifting thread....* Leaves *

 

[ToffeeTim]

We have a lot of players who run up to press but then stand a yard back to avoid making a challenge.

We are also very unfit in comparison to elite teams.

 

[billyblue80]

Comparing us a below average mid table PL team to the CL finalists we are always going to come off badly

Quality of both teams...

Passing the ball into a players stride rather than a yard behind them...

Your spot on Orly...

It is always good to have a plan...

Bayern have a fantastic model & it's great to watch...

Until it happens at Everton we must always believe something wonderful is about to happen...

We’ve a midfield full of slugs

The way they have played over the last 12 months I'd take the PE teacher from KES over them

 

[Goat]

Acres of space now.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We did it pretty well with Gana at times, but you need more than one fit midfielder.

He would win us a few penalties every season

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

2 German managers.

Italian managers dont normally favour the press.

Except Arrigo Sacchi....

 

[Seathestars]

To play this pressing malarkey you need players who are at least half arsed, we’ve got no chance

this. Our midfield can’t press or even sit they just meander about
