Great season for sure and your coverage was fantasticly insightful. There are only three minor issues coming out of it that I observed.

Longer preparation time did not yield better performances, e.g. Everton away, ManU home, PSG away, Nottingham away. The latter disappointed me the most given Slot‘s fixation. The team generally worked best in game 2/3 of a 5 match cluster.

Man-to-man press still causes us issues in build up, especially if the opponent is patient and lets our goaly stand on the ball. We tended to go long (bad) and were not able to win second balls (even worse). Our own pressing also evaporated in these games, often due to the opponent being able to draw fouls or simply play long into channels.

Offensive set pieces. To the point that our guys seem to lack believe.
