It's tough enough for most sides to use it well in that situation, let alone us.Think Lyon would be big on midfield defensive pressure and not allowing teams easy entry into the forward line. There would be a lot more emphasis on accountability running both ways. If you watch him on footy class he goes off his brain at players being allowed to run unchecked and create overlaps or increased numbers at contests.
Freo were a full on big bodied physical pressure team who wore teams into the ground but lacked finishers who could kick a winning score. I think he would find the balance hard to achieve with our list as it stands and would need to make changes or really reverse the playing style of many of our players.
