It’s not just that the midfielders don’t always drop…

It’s that when they get the ball, all they do is look to pass back to a cb or spread it to a full back. That was where skipp was so good, he could receive the ball and take it forward. Kenny gets mugged doing that.

The contrast with how easily they played out of our press was telling.

We should stick with playing out, but maybe look to vary that when playing against sides that press very effectively.
