The scum under McCarthy are basically the typical product of a stats base approach
they follow the Reep/Hughes model that basically says if you get the ball close to goal as quickly as possible then you'll more likely to score (in less than 3 passes ideally). That was basically some of first stats that influenced football and is somehow still being used today, despite it's obvious flaws and limitations the higher up you go.
