Yes, we were never really pinned in our own third of the pitch, we had loads of the ball, we just couldn't play the ball quickly enough to get through their block.
An example of us being pressed would be stoke at home, they did run over us a bit in midfield and pinned us in our own third for long spells.
Gyokeres was the difference, if cov had a regular champo striker in their system then we could have sacrificed a defender to play at extra midfielder but we were too concerned about gyokeres chasing and winning long balls.
