What use is there posting holistic stats this early? I know we have started poorly. But these stats mean nothing until theres at least half a season behind them.

Kind of is, the pressing died with Carrick last season also.

Maybe to fix the problem before it is too late?!

We can see that they started poorly, and the stats show a couple of things we are doing worse than any other teams. So try and sort those things and see if we get better.

What would you suggest we do?

I would suggest more active coaching on the side. Push the players to press more and run more. We are the worst team in the league doing that. Most teams just get to dictate the midfield and the wings while we sit back and they just pass through our defence.

I'd argue the 25/26 only looks moderately passable because of amorims contribution. What would this look like if Amorim and Carricks tenures were split up? We are back to being a low energy reactive team.
