I’ve said before I just don’t think Farke worked on the off the ball stuff very much

I know we can only go by brief extracts from training we are allowed to see but j don’t recall seeing them ever doing a drill under Farke that was not a tippy tappy, technique on the ball type drill.

I’m sure they did do done defensive stuff but I just don’t believe it’s to anything like the extent we do now. You can just see the shape of the team and the pressing when we don’t have it is much better. With the attacking players back we have a threat on the break and just look
a bit more threatening. I also note Kenny talking about how much we work on set pieces now as well.
