A great read in my opinion.

Its a good article with alot of good data. But from watching our games with naked eye it doesn't tell me anything I don't already know. Not knocking the piece, but just goes to show judgement is still the most important tool for a manager.

The importance of the counter-press to our system is very clear from watching us play. However, I like how this article highlights the roles of individual players and backs everything up with stats.

Here on SC, pressing / counter-pressing is often considered to be Eriksen's weakness, but this article will make a lot of people think twice about that.
