As for the goalie throwing or passing short balls in the penalty area I think we are playing russian roulette every match and we will suffer for it eventually.
with the keeper doing this short throw or kick routine the opposition are further up in our half than they should be. cannot see the difference in the keeper kicking it long than him throwing out to a defender who eventually does the same. the first option stops any mistakes happening.[/QUOTE]
It is all based on possession - though you know that - and comes from Spain, Barca and now City/Liverpool
The opposition cannot score, if you have the ball
Coley has played like this for years, we were best at it when we have Sean Hessey, Proccy and Luke Joyce
I do not have any problem with the way we play, what I would like to see, is a variation
We have a couple of big(ger) lads up front this season, so kicking it long occasionally should be an option!
