What are your thoughts? How would it shape the future of the game tactically? Which style of play or manager would have the most success?
I would say that a high press system that relies on mitigating counter attacks by catching the opponent offside might suffer the most. For example - Ange’s high line defense against Chelsea in their 4-1 loss.
At first I thought this would be a great idea, as it essentially gives attackers more space to operate and keep onside playing through.
My fear is that the high line operated nowadays will be barraged far more with speculative through balls and might make them site further and further back.
It might even return us to a 4-4-2 as why bother overloading the midfield if one ball bypasses your talent in the middle?
