That's true. United will be the best proponent of this type of approach. When they do it they do it excellently. Hull tried the same thing and so will West Brom but won't have the same level if control of the game. However, the general principles are very similar in terms of the intent.
No it's not. Hull properly parked the bus against you, same with Burnley.
What we did is came at you in your faces and spent the majority of the first half on YOUR side of the pitch.
You guys felt the pressure and couldn't string 2 passes together without losing the ball to one of us or just out of play.
As the game progressed you lots finally started managing some decent passing and moving out of your own half. Second half we decided to let you have the ball and dropped the high pressing game we had going in the first half which is understandable because we surely couldn't keep it up, we don't play that way.
However despite letting you guys have the ball we were still mostly in control and were hardly threatened and it seemed easier to play that way since you guys were pretty toothless going forward anyways.
A team that park the bus get put under heavy pressure and have to dish countless last takle and outstanding saves. Something that happened to Hull, Burnley and will happen to West Brom. You guys barely made 2 shots on target against us with one being a long shot from distance.
We were as comfortable as it get at Anfield, hardly threatened and in control. Teams that park the bus don't walk away from game feeling hardly threatened.
