That was a big part of the problem tonight as it was at the end of last season, which is why I was so made up we signed Thaigo, the press and counter press were absolute shite, but Villa pressed us successfully and broke on us so many times because we had no midfielder in the line up capable of playing those balls that destroy attempted opposition presses and Jurgen opted not to change either of those things with his half time or other subs for whatever reason only he knows
