But EtH is not seeking control, he's seeking chaos.
It seems that what he wants to achieve is a side that draws in the press and then lumps it forward, whilst having our midfield, full backs and forwards all charge forward to either receive the ball or win the ball in transition.
This is madness to me. That's encouraging variance. You want to decrease variance when you're playing limited sides with inferior players.
Case in point, take a team like Fulham. They have the likes of Pereira, Iwobi, Traore and Smith-Rowe in attack. All of those players came up short in better teams (United, Arsenal, Barcelona, Arsenal) because they lacked the quality / nous to break down low-blocks...but they have all proven very solid players for a side that largely looks to soak up pressure and hit teams on the counter.
I'm not saying this is what we SHOULD do...but say United sat back vs Fulham, 10-men behind the ball and countered, how many chances / shots would Fulham have? I suspect very, very few. They don't have the quality to break that set-up down...but when you encourage chaos and leave huge gaps for the likes of Iwobi and Traore, you're playing right into their hands. I am only using Fulham as an example, but so many PL teams play this way.
If you put Bruno, Rashford, Garnacho and Hojlund in that Fulham team, with everything else being equal and Silva as the boss playing his solid low / middle block, those attacking players would really stand out and suddenly look like great players - provided teams still attacked Fulham and left the spaces for them.
