ljkeane Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It'll be interesting to see what Leeds are like today. Apparently Marsch is an attacking/high pressing coach like Bielsa but he uses the Red Bull zonal pressing system unlike Bielsa's man to man pressing which is a bigger change than some people might be expecting. I think they kind of need to make the change away from Bielsa's man to man system because teams were starting to prey on it but I don't know how effectively Marsch will be able to make the change with not much time to bed it in.

For those who haven't seen the format: 36 teams in total (up from the current 32) group stage replaced by one big league table where each team plays 10 games in the first phase (5 home and 5 away) and all against different teams. the top 8 sides in the league phase qualifies automatically for the last 16 the 9th to 24th placed teams will play in a two legged knockout for their place in the last 16. The new format comes into effect from the 2024/2025 season and adds an additional 100 games to the tournament. Sounds needlessly convoluted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the 10 game series is there a random draw or an established pattern based on rankings and seeding teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The new system seems weird but I'm sure it'll work fine. The problem is the extra games. The competition doesn't really become fun until the knock-out stages anyway, so this is hardly an improvement from an entertainment standpoint.

WTF is that clusterfuck they've come up with? Either way, just home from a stadium visit (first time in 2022). 3-1 victory, but boy, I sometimes hate supporting a politically conscious club.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Lol, I walked away from Chelsea-Burnley tied at 0-0 at halftime to make some eggs and bacon. Came back and Chelsea is up 3-0 less 15 minutes into the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Quite enjoyed Klopp making sure Bowen knows, as he limps off, that he's in his thoughts. It's weird that they let him hobble rather than getting a stretcher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
