That's a pretty interesting point, I also feel we're not pressing as intensely as we usually would be because we're playing a game every 3 days. Next season I'm sure we'll see far more energetic pressing.
The problem though is not the effort or the energy, it's the efficiency and organisation of it. To be fair that applies to pretty much everything imo. Defence, attack, possession, tactics etc. It's not the intent is bad, it's the execution.
In any one off game our players are fitter and better technically than 80% of the league but we shouldn't be pressing 15-30 yards between players i.e large distances and chasing the ball with high intensity sprints across the pitch.
By default, our press is always going be 'decent' simpy because we're fundamentally superior but we're wasting huge amounts of energy doing it and hence why it's not sustainable or well coached at all.
I don't want to discredit Ole's good work but our approach to things are more about earnest application and straight forward tactics than nuance and sophistication. We're running our players into the ground. Partly because of the fixtures but mostly down to the inefficiency. This has happened throughout Ole's time here. His first 3 months where he let everyone run amok with freedom, then he told us we weren't working hard enough and wanted to get our players fitter over the summer. Start of 2019, we start blitzing teams with and then fall into a lull. Post lockdown, we blitz teams and again fall into a lull. This year it's a different order but the same problems exists.
