The New Pssession Game (a twitter thread that is a gift that keeps on giving) : Gunners

There’s only two real ways beat to this. Either you press very well (but so far City, Chelsea and (pre-season) Liverpool have struggled to do that), or you don’t press at all and drop deep. Or just hope Arsenal have an off day and give the ball away (because we will concede goals as a result of this at some point).

Anything the defending side changes, in terms of marking/structure, leaves a weakness elsewhere. We’ve created 2 similar goals from balls over the top down the left hand side in the FA Cup (Man City, Chelsea penalty) in addition to the ones where it is switched to Auba from the right hand side.
