Crazy isn’t it. I watched part of the Huddersfield game earlier and they left two up. It was very effective - it almost seemed like an opportunity for them when they conceded a corner. They were well drilled to move the ball very quickly once they won it back.
I could get the 11 men back under Ismael. He wanted all 11 players to press intensely. But Schopp and Asbaghi want us to counter attack, how are we going to do that with everybody in our own box?
We have done that all season forign managers love it. Cant see why myself get a attacker out of the box give some outlet.
It is the most retarded yet accepted tactic in football. Every player that you leave upfield pulls out two attackers. Let alone that every ball you half clear just gets dumped back in your area. It's nearly as stupid as the fact that no one ever marks the person taking a throw in when there's one in the opponents half, despite the fact they get the ball back 90% of the time.
And that's because you have to have a coaching badge to be a coach and the coaching badges all come from the same syllabus meaning everyone is taught what some idiot decided they needed to be taught
Esp as Vita Gomes Bassi and Quina are all 5ft 4 - 5ft 6ish in height. Bonkers having all 4 back when they are nippy as well. Madness.
