But, the complaint shouldn't be about playing out from the back. It should be about ALWAYS playing out from the back. When Dawson got closed down last night he should have simply put his foot through the ball. Job done. The tactic actually does regularly help us play through sides but when it goes wrong, it goes badly wrong. By being so stubborn at this we put ourselves on the back foot and invite pressure and the rest of the team are turned facing the ball unable to make a run. I wish we would just mix it up a bit and not be so predictable.
