It will take more than a week.

Brighton hade the 4th most possession of any team in the PL last season. 53% at Stamford Bridge to give one example. So yes, there's been plenty of low block defending teams - and in Brighton he has struggled with it. Chances have been created, lots and lots, I suggest you watch this from the 2020/21 season: In Swansea and Östersund, this was not a problem. In both of those clubs he had access to a strong player up front that would create spaces for midfielders and inside cutting wingers, often through moving towards the wings to pull out defenses and get into easy aerial battles with short full backs. Other than that, his teams create chances through superior movement and bravery. Patient play until there is a trigger - an opponent going into press or a combination of movement within his own team - and then try to make quick, slick combinations into chance creation. It will come for you eventually, but it will take time, that much is clear from today and your starting lineup will look very different in a month or two - it is clear that some of your older players doesn't have the required physical capacity to play the way GP wants football to be played.

As someone who has followed GP in his career for six years now, this was some of the most dire stuff I've ever seen any of his teams play. There is a sh*t ton to do before this team is going to look even decent. This is what it should look like: While it is only normal that the tactical understanding isn't there for your players yet, I have to say I'm very surprised by the inadequete technique shown by some of the supposedly world class players, and even more surprised by the physical level: players took 2-3 minutes to recover from sprints before their next bout of applying pressure or making runs. Unacceptable - if you want to compete in the CL and PL, you can have no more than 90 seconds to recover and return to normal breath/pulse. In case your triggerhappy American give it time, it will all turn very well for you in the end. But this is going to take a long, long time before you see the results and the football GP and these players can perform.
