PIs:
Both CBs have stay wider on them, was debating about putting take more risks for passing to emulate Albiol and Koulibaly's line splitting passes but wasn't sure
RB: Tackle harder and run wide with ball, as Hysaj was the more defensive of the two, but he also got forward in attack, so maybe get further forward as well?
DM: Tackle harder, wasn't sure about the other ones to put
CM-S: Tackle harder, again wasn't sure
LW: Sit Narrower and aim crosses at far post. Allows for an overload of the left channel and space for the WB-A to overlap. Cross far post is what Insigne would do for Callejon.
RW: Wasn't sure about the role here tbh, because Callejon was good at keeping width but also would be great with his off ball movement. I was stuck between a Raumdeuter and a Winger on attack
ST: I think for this role, if you have a more physical striker (like Hiquain), DLF-A is good, but if you have a less physical striker (like Mertens) then a F9 is good
As for team instructions, I generally think they do a good job at capturing how Sarri had them play. One question I have is about the mentality. I want to cut down on the amount of long balls my player's do, as I want this tactic to be about retaining the ball and passing it quickly, on the ground, and vertically. I think Balanced coupled with high tempo works well bc it means they won't try to force it long but also move the ball with urgency. Would love to know if anyone has any thoughts!
