I assume it’s a process because our defenders/keeper are still coming to terms with what our manager wants.
Constantly playing from the back obviously comes with certain risks and we will concede silly goals what ever division we are in.
But the manager has calculated the benefits outweigh the costs (keeps possession, pulls opposition players out of position, can tire the opposition, can be used against counter attacks……)
Against Blackburn I thought in the 1st half we got duped into adopting their gung ho attitude. We were much better when we passed it around in a slower more composed way.
moreover, I don’t think we actually have the players to play any differently now. Rightly or wrongly, the club had fully supported the manager and his footballing philosophy.
