True we lost 2 -0 but the score board won't say the whole story.

Kerala would build up through Jeackson dropping in between the 2 CBs and Vicente and Facundo taking the half spaces ahead as two 8s. Sahal and Puieta took up the wide channels behind Murray

The right wing was almost empty yesterday. There was a whole lot of space on the right side which we seldom used. Pueita was more like coming to the middle rather than utilising those areas. We missed Rahul KP .

After the second goal we started putting more pressure to the MCFC side. Jeackson screened the defense while Vicente and Facundo filled the space in between. We pressed each and every balls around opposition box.

The second goal conceded was a clear lack of communication. Albino doesn't deserve a defense like this. We have to find a reliable defensive paring ASAP

Stop asking for the Sack. We see the consistent teams in the league this season are built around the same core for min 2 years now. Unless we trust a coach and players we will be in the same mess every season.

This exactly. I think the 8 and fullback roles in this system share quite a lot of common attributes, even forgetting how Bielsa looks to hybrid them in 3-3-1-3. No wonder that we've seen Dallas, Shackleton, Gotts etc play both. And these roles play to Dallas' strengths.

A lot of people think Struijk isn't good enough in the build-up phase. Well, what does the DM do in build-up?
Here's a passing network from last season:
As you can see, Phillips' role in the Championship last season was largely facilitating build up in the wide area (on the left interestingly).
Per Wyscout, Phillips is putting up a figure of 7.03 long passes per 90 minutes and completes around 59%. Last season he was making 6.94 long passes per 90 mins at around 52%.
Per dribbles he's putting up similar numbers across both seasons (between 1 and 1.5 p90) and per duels he's putting up the same number (20 p90).
All of this suggests his role hasn't changed much over the last couple of seasons.
It's a relegation playoff between CD Universidad & Colo Colo it has all of Chile holding it's breath. (THREAD)
It's all because the away side is Colo Colo, the country's biggest, most successful club, with 32 titles & the only Chilean Copa Libertadores trophy.
They have never even come close to relegation & the sheer thought of going down is causing all kinds of scenes across the country
From the ritualistic Grandma's doing their bit to convince the football sprits to keep them in the top
The rituals to keep Colo-Colo in top flight have begun. https://t.co/KpSDvkHWAM

And of course the club's Barra Bravas with their own take on motivation
Colo Colo - Chile's most successful club - are one game away from the first relegation in their 96-year history. Their ultras today put up a banner outside the club's stadium: "They win or we kill them." pic.twitter.com/4alj2M6BCi
