Needs work.
It's been going backwards for a long time, that's why I've complained about it for a long time
At its peak, we were always defending while attacking and attacking while defending, our positioning was brilliant in every position, with every position making it easy for every other position/player, simple things, being close enough to a player to stop them being able to receive the ball and play out on the counter, while also being positioned to join the attack when you can be played in - We have a few players now who simply can't and I don't believe ever will be able to play the press and counter press to the required level and we need to get shot of them, because it's no good to us and they're no good to us, most of all, you can't play how we play at our best and have your No6 of all players be so absolutely fucking useless at it
