Winning possession & keeping it is key for Marsch tactic - but once the ball has been won we have NO creative quick thinking players with ability to play in such 'tight spaces' within our present tactical set-up.

For me, this high-intensity pressing says much about the overall team mentality now. Players talents depend on inspiration & effort which depends upon each of the individual players appetite & yet again all have gone AWOL.

Today, yet again NO mentality & physicality- nobody even picks up Mitrovic !

Under Bielsa attitude was non-negotiable but under JM 'some players' don't or cannot even exploit the gaps which our tactics occasionally produce - which bluntly put means the players are not being inspired & not putting the required physical/mental effort in whether defending or attacking.
In otherwords they are not playing for him! Bit like the Villa with Gerrard?
Get rid tonight and see where that takes us.
