Agreed, but we're going to have to do it intelligently, very much starting next Saturday.

I think that today, most of the 1st half we pressed with 7 players where the only ones not pressing in their half were Dunk JP and Veltman (and I think Veltman pushed on at times 
).
Second half we seemed to go really conservative and only pressed with 6 players

We are now exactly the type of team DeZerbi ball is most effective against. Quite ironicI think that today, most of the 1st half we pressed with 7 players where the only ones not pressing in their half were Dunk JP and Veltman (and I think Veltman pushed on at times

We should have had a friendly against Marseille! Full house for that one I reckon

If only we could find a way to defend should the opposition break that press
Did it intelligently today.
After the first 15 mins or so by when we could have been 2 down.
Not true. They got in behind at least half a dozen times down Veltmans flank. Not sure what game you were watching.
Fun to watch this style of football but we will see if it holds up in the Premier league.
Just like every other season, then?

I'd take the option of two ways when playing Dyche
I didn’t say they didn’t get in behind. I said our pressing was more intelligent.
Statistically you’ve got a much higher chance of scoring when you win the ball in your opponents half compared to playing through.
And that's why you're called Machiavelli.
Which of all those goals we conceded in pre season are you thinking about specifically?

'Pressing with Fabian Hürzeler' sounds like the long-awaited sequel to 'Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank'
Not if you press properly, on the right triggers and as a group. When you do that there's no escape, you're either going to kick it straight at one of our pressing players or straight onto Dunk's head.
We will undoubtedly concede goals this season to long balls when we have a high line, but it'll be because we've not executed properly, rather than a flaw in the tactic itself.
