Yeah to pull it off effectively you do. It’s why it’s so hard to play for Pep. They need some many different attributes to play for him. He always says he wouldn’t be able to do what he does with crap players.
Spurs have got the players to play possession football with more sporadic pressing, though.
The combination of pressing and possession. Yeah you can pass it round the back for days, the key is winning it in dangerous areas and having the talent on the pitch to convert those opportunities to goals.
Oh the combination - we couldn’t do it to a Pep level but we have the players to pull it off to compete under the right manager.
I don't think we have a back 5 capable of playing a high line.
We're a fit GLC/a decent box to box away from the midfield being able to cope.
Front 3 or 4? Again glaring holes really init. If not in pressing than keeping possession. Or just staying fit
Of course, but the team still needs to maintain possession - between defence, midfield and attack - to take the pressure off, it’s clearly taxing for teams to be pressing whenever they lose the ball.
It’s why Pep’s teams don’t always take a direct route to goal. Whereas Bielsa burnout is a thing as - despite high possession stats - they turn the ball over a lot quicker due to being so direct when they win it.
I am a fan of Rudi Garcia.
Plays good football. Plays youngsters.
Graham Potter is tactically a brilliant manager and in a better side he will smash it.
Not for us though he is a gooner.

Seems funny that our goals ratio has dwindled since his injury, very underrated player.
