Great analysis!
A lot of these types of comments. I think that Ole has a system he wants to play, but doesn't have the players to execute his vision. As a result, he is left with a match-by-match approach. We all know that we play better and create more on the counter. Our advantage is our pace and finishing of the front 3.
I do think Ole wants to press up high. Unfortunately, to do that, you need three characteristics in the squad: One, defenders with pace so you can play a high line and thus reduce the amount of space in between the lines. Maguire and Lindelof are too slow. Secondly, you need a midfield three that are quick to close down in the center of the pitch. Bruno is excellent, Pogba is disinterested, and not particularly quick, and Matic is slow and more of a positional player. Thirdly, you need a front three with a lot of pace who can attack defenders -- this we have.
When we gain possession, I think he wants to play more quickly with balls into space. Unfortunately, Matic's first instinct is the safe pass. Pogba and Bruno are both excellent at unlocking defenses this way, and I think that as we get more fit and our form starts to turn for the better, both of them will perform at expectation in this respect. In the build-up play and final third, he wants more movement. We seemed to have that after the restart and Bruno was really pulling the strings. Right now, we look pretty stationary. We aren't moving and switching enough. Our passing has been really poor, inaccurate and without conviction.
