Tomaszk Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It's harder to press in a 4231. Ive seen a lot of people saying they want to have two holders but press the game better. It's very difficult to do both, that's why all the top sides have moved away from 4231 and towards 433. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he's been absolutely spot on with his predictions in recent years so if anyone deserves to jump to an immediate conclusion its @villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Most fans only have a very narrow picture of a football game. They only want to see the flashy stuff. Hence why they likes Traore and hates Trez. Trez is our best presser in the team and has been absolutely vital in our great start and us defending from the front.. But i don't expect most people to notice his great off the ball work. Traore may have a bit more flair but i think he will make us a worse side because Trez off the ball work often results in us winning the ball back in good areas and getting a good foothold in games. Would be happy to be proved wrong and Traore putting a shift in defensively. Edited November 1, 2020 by villalad21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted November 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2020 Nice to see Taore in ,. Like to see him, Ollie and Jack swapping positions to try and throw the opposition's attempts to contain Jack. Needs a big performance from the midfield 3 as well , they have to all close down when we haven't got the ball. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite evident that Trez’ pressing has been noticed, just look in his thread. This isn’t some Tifo football level analysis you’ve found which has gone over everyone’s heads. But when he isn’t at that level defensively he might as well not be on the pitch, like the Leeds game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2020 Come on Bertie prove them wrong! Although I imagine there is virtually nothing he can do to change some people’s opinions. Even though this is first PL start some have written him off completely.

The Leeds game was a collective failure. Not the fault of one player. Poor tactics and gameplan. It's very evident to me Trez has turned into our new scapegoat, even after all those great games and him almost single handedly keeping us up with his goals. When i watched Traore against Stoke i saw a player not really that interested or bothered and i think that is a trait of him. I'd take a hard working, intensive pressing Trez over a little bit more flash any day of the week. But hey, maybe that's just me.

Tommo_b Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I’ve honestly no idea how good Troare is at pressing, however my gut instinct tells me it will be pretty good and a lot faster then Trez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Trez I think he is quite quick, but I expect Traore to be more skilful and more of a threat (which can sometimes have defensive benefits too) imo.

villalad21 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Saints media is so wonderful. They are doing pre match build ups before every game. Why don't we do something similar. Our media team is so lazy, really needs stepping up. Championship level atm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
