That's a different discussion to what we were initially talking about though. Of course we should be looking to improve our pressing and several other aspects that are lacking in our game, such as off the ball movement while we are in possession for example. You still need better players though. No matter how good our game plan could be or how well coached our players would be, they still need to be better individually most of the time. A good platform or framework obviously helps limited players, but I think it's easier, if you have both. What you are describing, Rangnick is trying to address and hopefully so will the new manager in the summer.
That Liverpool team was an exception in my eyes. In terms of productivity they had and still have unique full-backs. We don't, and I don't see us signing the next Alexander-Arnold. If anything, it is looking like we will eventually need to replace Shaw sooner than later. They also clearly addressed their midfield with signings like Fabinho and Thiago, to improve their team in the centre when they have possession.
I'm confused, are you saying that Fabian Ruiz is too limited defensively to work for us or is that generally a point about Neves? Neves was just an example, I am not particularly keen on us signing him.
