Isn’t the flip side of that philosophy that if you don’t have the ball
you need to get it back ASAP which means pressing and
I didn’t see much pressing yesterday. Rashica and cantwell not tenacious enough to bother them, Pukki realising he was on his own in that regard didn’t put in his usually chasing effort either. Rupp and PLM clearly had the job to close the middle and push them wide as Spurs had been successful in but they were happy to do that as they were killing Dimi and Aarons (and also Bali when he came on) and gilmour wasn’t able to support them as he clearly isn’t a defensive midfielder.
