Average player positions Conte v Postecoglou.

In our last game under Conte (against relegation-bound Southampton) we averaged 5 in their half. Under Ange against Brentford in his first competitive game we have only 2 and with every single other position further forward.

Some people say playing this way is naïve. I say it’s bold, brave, and commited. A statement of intent. What do you think?

    The main difference looks to be the role of the midfielders. Under Conte they were essentially a guard for the defensive line but the players we had weren’t suited to that role and the defense was just exposed even a low block.

    Under Ange the Midfielders support the attack and while our front 3 weren’t that effective against Brentford they weren’t isolated like before. Bissouma is such a key player and I can’t wait to see how Bentancur plays in this system
