the author tried to make it look as though we were 'reactive' last night, he went on and on about how the 'old' Mourinho is back after the Sunderland league cup defeat and that its 'OK' and people should appreciate his tactics... a very misleading article to what Jose is really trying to do, IMO
I thought the same .... He confuses constant pressing, going up in numbers and be dominant, falling back when not in possession and hitting them hard on the counter with 'reactive'. Quite wrong tbh ....
If anything, it is called being 'agentic' which I very much prefer as a term.
