On being a stupid club doing a smart club impression.
Deki will be one of the changes in Jan and presumably either a new CB or Radu
Pahlinha is pretty funny about this he is legit amazing at ball winning and beyond sub par on the ball, it's real life min maxing.
It's 3 games but its noticeable other teams are now saying to Nuno okay you can low block and counter but what if you have to have the ball. Forest aren't scoring their first shot every time anymore so aren't playing in a winning game state most of the time.
Unless we grab a lead and the other team is forced into taking more risk we will often have more of the ball by virtue of being us also if we are bad at moving it other teams will look to let us have even more of it.
We are also really low on passing ability, Romero Porro and Xavi simons are the only players who can break the lines with their passing, the deeper midfield two unless Bergvall massively develops this year is going to be very.
We have had posession in the two non city games it's how you use posession its very heavily focused into passing it round the back to create opportunities to go longer rather than building our way up the pitch.
The question for us with yeet and press is how well it works as a side who will have most of the ball and be expected to be on top most weeks. Frank could develop a more complex posession game and these concerns could be completely wrong but its incumbent on him to find that extra gear.
Bournemouth chaos max, don't keep a lot of the ball, they had 2 types of issues last year one was their legs would often go due to their intensity the other is they struggled against weaker sides who sat in and made them open them up.
