ian1964 10,761 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 This is not Glasgow Rangers it is Pass it back FC. Pass it back until we are in trouble and then pass it to the opposition. HA!, come on Pete, this is a top quality side here, they force the play all the time, they do that in their league as well that's why they are sitting 2nd, we have been slack with the ball too many times but they press and close down very well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 As with most top German sides, Leipzig are superb at pressing in that compact 4-4-2. We've been OK, but need to be more courageous with the ball, with several opportunities to pass the ball forward being abandoned; Halliday and Tavernier in particular take an absolute age to make up their mind what to do with the ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,663 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I don't know why we've went to a a 3-5-2; players look really uncomfortable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge difference in class of players here, the two players who scored the goals cost 30 million EURO,perspective required. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay but what about all the balls that can go direct to McKay instead of being passed back to Wilson first, giving leipzig the chance to press. This is not only about them pressing it is about us passing it back whether they press or not. Miller could have sent Windass through on goal but instead passed it back to Haliday. It is not only in this game either it is in most games. One positive the presenter is a good looking bird that is about it for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been playing a variation of it for about three weeks. I think it's been OK thus far. If we can't try it here where can we try it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
