ii) specific patterns of play we have been using with this system such as drawing oppo press to one side and switching to free WB (seen that again and again). It sounded like you were saying the pattern is "go long" which is often not true- e.g. Mounts goal!

Good discussion. I'd like to hear more on I) specific selections and how that affects system dynamics e.g. a defender vs Amad at WB and how that changes build up and attacks

Disagree. We had more chances and possession, our general build up continues to improve and is way better than what we saw under ten Haag. The issue is set piece defending and finishing, that will come good.
