I kind of feel like we're pressing closer to peak 16/17 Poch then the end of his tenure, no? We don't play as a high of a line but it seems pressing is important part of Jose's system.
Agree that Salah and KDB are poor examples of what is happening here and that Pogba and Shaw are better examples.
Disagree with everything else. It has little to do with Jose wanting a scapegoat. It's about demanding everything from the team as a whole and the 22+ individuals that make up the...
I actually just bumped the thread discussion about this article before I saw this thread. It's an interesting moment in the Poch era. In hindsight it looks like a mistake and may potentially have played a part in his undoing.

I've always thought the same, or at the very least stay in the PL, until I had a conversation with someone on the eve of the CL final at the team hotel. This person wasn't employed by the club but they were a guest and said HK was very open to a move to Spain.
