It can work, but you need to start with the basics, a goalkeeper that can catch a ball, defenders that can defend. There is absolutely zero benefit to some twat standing still with the ball for 5 minutes, it will not draw the opponent out they will just sit and laugh at you. There is also zero benefit in passing it sideways in a high risk situation say our own box, where you needlessly put yourselves under pressure and cause mistakes leading to goals. Then going forward, passing needs to be quick, players need to break the lines, and they need to run at people, finally we need to shoot at the goal. This essentially means we should never see Thomas, Okoli or Reid play again but we know whichever twat Rudkin brings in next will ‘have a new start’.
