Look at Liverpool. Watching them play I was wondering how their press is so consistent and effective. From that graph it seems either the system they play allows it to be a ‘compressed’ or positional press. So they sprint quite a lot but not long distances or situational press, ie they only press in certain circumstances.

Either way, that seems an infinitely more sustainable, efficient and effective way to play - with room to ask a bit more from your players on occasion.

Seems sensible to me.

Also helps they had a mostly fit squad all season
Parley because of how he manages them too. He does a lot of rotational subs around 60 mins (slott)
But he can do that because they have a well developed squad

They will also happily switch the play into space when the opportunity arises. That keeps the opposition in their toes as they know they can't really allow too much in behind or allow the likes of Salah to man to man with their defenders. That does help keep the compression as the defenders are always thinking about what's behind them and supporting their teammate to deny isolations.

Who was the player from 73?

I read it as 74/75 was the first season. Arthur Albiston played for United then and was still at the club when Ferguson took over.
