Coaches interviews tell us a lot about how they want their teams to play. If the right questions are asked... and if the coach is open enough about it.
Klopp, after the Chelsea win, showed what he wants Liverpool to do when they have the ball and are trying to build up and create chances.
When you pass the ball between the lines of the opponent, you can *remove* players of the play, and a 10v10+ GK transforms into something way more simple.
Here are some examples of what we are trying to say.
Eric Dier in his debut. Poor controle of the defensive line, should have been in sync and Dier would either be offside or if they have taken a two steps back (in a line) they would have resolved the problem. Late winner for the Spurs, using a player that was not even in the first eleven in his last club
and Ramsey, also in the last minute. Arsenal played his usual passing game, with good positional play but lacking speed circulating the ball. Its not about how much you run, its about moving the ball faster in order to create problems for the defensive organization of the oponent.
Manchester United changed from night to day, with much much less crossing than the year before, but still lacking consistensy. Mata wins new life in this kind of playing style and United fans can expect some exciting games. With 2/3 more weeks we will be able to see if their deffensive organization is better than the Nederlands in the World Cup. It has to be.. otherwise.. no trophys for the United fans.
