Look at Liverpool. Watching them play I was wondering how their press is so consistent and effective. From that graph it seems either the system they play allows it to be a ‘compressed’ or positional press. So they sprint quite a lot but not long distances or situational press, ie they only press in certain circumstances.

Either way, that seems an infinitely more sustainable, efficient and effective way to play - with room to ask a bit more from your players on occasion.

Seems sensible to me.

They will also happily switch the play into space when the opportunity arises. That keeps the opposition in their toes as they know they can't really allow too much in behind or allow the likes of Salah to man to man with their defenders. That does help keep the compression as the defenders are always thinking about what's behind them and supporting their teammate to deny isolations.

Hopefully we’ll sign a left-footed LB to rotate with Udogie in January so that flank is as strong as the right…
