I saw a super little video/tweet posted on NSC showing a fantastic Albion passing movement against city and now can't find it. Can anyone post a link please.
ThisI saw the clip. It's great. But didn't look much different to what we'd been doing for the last 3 years. That's not a criticism but to label it as 'De Zerbi Ball' is a little odd imho.
That said, there have been a few more one touch passing moves the last few week that have seemed to be a tweak on the GPot style
I'm pretty sure Premier League teams don't rely on Match of the Day for their analysis of upcoming opposition.It looked different to me. The deliberate drawing of the press and then quick overloading in advanced areas was what a lot of tactics videos spoke of when we employed De Zerbi. This was the first I've noticed of it coming off for us. It was pretty to watch and augers very well for how quickly our squad can pick up his style. I was astounded that no TV company seems to consider it worthy of analysis. I suppose its a good thing as we don't want teams expecting it. That would exacerbate the problem of how it works if teams don't press.
But if its not discussed, its down to them to notice it. The evidence here is that some won't see it as being any different to what we did under Potter.I'm pretty sure Premier League teams don't rely on Match of the Day for their analysis of upcoming opposition.
I don't see it as being significantly different.But if its not discussed, its down to them to notice it. The evidence here is that some won't see it as being any different to what we did under Potter.

Its only new if you want it to be new.It looked different to me.

I didn't need an explanation and I don't agree. Potter's approach does attempt to create similar overloads, but it's not been through one touch, wall passing football between CBs and DMs. When I first saw videos of DeZerbi's teams doing it, I had kittens imagining Dunky doing it. I wouldn't have reacted that way had I been watching him do it at The Amex for the last few years.Its only new if you want it to be new.
GP, and quite a few other modern coaches, got the same ideas: you draw press through combining at the back (against high-pressuring opponents) or through circulating it around defenders and midfielders (low-pressuring opponents) in order to create 3v4s or 4v4s on the opposing half. Depending on the nature of the opponent and the trigger that initiated the ball forward, you then attack an area where you can go 2v1. It is how Brighton have usually played for years now and I'm a little surprised that some people percieve it as new.
Ok. I've seen quite a bit of itI didn't need an explanation and I don't agree.

Oh really? How many games have you been at?Ok. I've seen quite a bit of it
