to quote Simon: "If you charge around like a headless chicken decent players will pass it along the back line and play triangles around you and make you look daft / wear you out"
Yeah, its that simple. pressing is NOT a one mans game. Becchio cannot and should not run around pressing on his own. No fxxing way. Unless its a team effort dont bother. I know historically its been an english thing to do, (I ve not seen it in other leagues on the continent), it may look good but its useless on your own.
