Fair points Dan. When you mentioned pressing it made me reflect whether not having Andreas P pressing high has altered the dynamic without an appropriate adjustment.
There have been rare times this season where a second player (sometimes King, or Harry or ESR) has come up almost act like a second #9 and helped Raul with pressing as well.
More often than not - opposition gets less pressure coming out of defence and also don't get the Palhinha pressure coming into the final third. I think it has left us reactive and aimless
