From our high press you can see why EtH says Bruno is so important to us. He puts the others to shame, and does well to keep pressing as much as he does when he knows the press is probably going to fail because of the others. It's fair to say that you'd probably not want him in a team looking to build slowly and have 70%+ possession in games. I think we're aiming to take the ball off such teams high up the pitch and be direct with creating chances as opposed to winning the ball then passing the opposition to sleep before making a decisive pass.
Whatever it meant by winning the midfield battle is pretty irrelevant, we just have to be winning games. If we can win games with this system then Bruno is a massive part of why.
Sure there was cause for concern with our performance yesterday, but as some one else has pointed out, Burnley's possession was mainly with their centrebacks and keeper. Most importantly, Bruno's goal was really special, were allowed to enjoy that surely!!
