As a big fan of high pressing I totally agree I would like to see more of it...

but what I can tell you from watching Chilean football for the past 2 years where this tactic is applied at different levels to varying degrees of success is that it doesn't make it any more likely to keep clean sheets really unless you have a couple of world class players in the holding role and at centre back.

Also worth noting that most teams that play high pressing game are capable of keeping the ball for long periods themselves. I am not convinced we can do this. You can't high press the opposition when you are only averaging around 40% possession in games, we'd be f**ked after 70mins.
