The whole “we don’t press enough, Ronaldo & Pogba are lazy etc etc” arguments that have now been picked up by pundits, strike me as merely a really lazy way of repurposing the ol “they just need to try harder” schtick into more modern language… whilst conveniently ignoring how terrible we are at basically everything else - passing, playing into space or setting ourselves up as a remotely modern team..
It allows fans and the ‘Old Boy’ pundits to blame everything on the players whilst ostensibly pretending to be critical. We are a terrible, archaic team… managed and coached by people with no ingenuity who wouldn’t be hired by anyone else… how much we’re pressing has feck all to do with anything IMO
