Re: Chelsea & Others after Christantus.
This one above me thought he has said something important, but just exposed himself for the know-nothing that he is.
The likes of Pep, Arterta, Maresca, Slot, Inzaghi, Alonso, Amorim etc are all coaches that base their entire tactics on positional play

Re: Chelsea & Others after Christantus.
And then a midfielder started at left back and stepped into midfield during possession. A back four became a back three. A 4-3-3 morphed into a 3-box-3 and all the lines crisscrossed like the Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac. “Pure” positionism indeed. Not even Sean Dyche’s 4-4-2 is as static as pure positionism decrees. Even Sean aims a nod at dynamism and fluidity. There’s nothing undiluted about the positionists at the top end. Nothing.
Re: Chelsea & Others after Christantus.
Again, it is only the limitations of the leader that determines the lineup. Most recently, one of the world’s most expensive and arguably, best, centre-mids was being deployed at right back. In possession, they moved into midfield and played as such. Out of possession they dropped back to complete the back four. Positionism may be but with a duality in roles defined entirely by the position and possessor of the ball. To play purely positionism nowadays is near impossible. The game has become to fluid.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool played, at times, with a number 9 who was anything but. More often than not, Diaz dropped a little deeper, Szoboszlai pushed up, Salah was high and wide and at times, the furthest man forward. And all the lines crisscrossed to make ya’ “jump, jump, the Daddy Mac’ll make ya…”.
For anyone to watch the degree of rotations in Inzaghi’s prime time Inter midfield (or even Lazio’s) and consider this purely positional, baffles the blind. Simone himself, on the Coaches Voice said he employs dynamism, versatility and rotations. In other words, the positions are not entirely fixed, rather dictated, in some instances by the happenings around the player, Brozovic is here one minute, there the next and the straight lines? Crisscrossed to make ya “beleeeed daaat”.
