This is exactly right. You’ve got to push high to keep them under the pressure we did and it was really good and a really good watch until they got back in front. This is the price of the ticket for attacking football really.Agreed, but we know he's never going to change, so there's no point getting steamed over it mate.
He lives and dies by his one singular tactic - to be fair, quite a few modern managers do. But with Postecoglou it's especially pronounced.
And in this game, it worked...okay in general. Again, we didn't play badly, just lacked a cutting edge up front and pace at the back.
And the thing about dropping off is, that then affects how high you press, which is pretty central to the attacking part of our play, and indeed also defensively to an extent - high pressures prevent the opponent attacking us so much.
There is no perfect system that allows you to dominate teams and be very solid at the back.
I enjoyed watching us today but I don’t see us finishing anywhere other than 5th or 6th.
