| Playing out from the back, when will clubs learn. 13:06 - Aug 25 with 1286 views | GRIM |
Virtually every Premier & some of the Championship clubs have adopted the policy of playing out from the back.
Using the keeper as an extra defender & expecting him to be good with his feet.
How many games now are affected by calamitous mistakes being made by keepers giving precious goals away.
Even Jordan Pickford who's supposed to be the very best with the ball at his feet cocked up yesterday which cost his team a goal.
Get back to basics & allow keepers to concentrate on keeping the ball out of the
net.
Also defenders should take more responsibility and not keep playing the ball back to the keeper unnecessarily.
As the legendary Brian Clough used to say
" football is a simple game, keep it simple". [Post edited 25 Aug 2024 13:13]

I think it's more a question of WHEN you play out from the back. If you're a religious extremist like RM, you want to do it all the time, even if you're being pressed. That's when the problems occur.
But if you're a pragmatist, it's a good tactic to use when the opposition have dropped back, leaving some defenders and the keeper free. In that situation, the keeper doesn't need to be Iniesta, or even much good with his feet at all.
How do you get a pressing team to drop back? You play the ball over their press a few times, exposing them to a counter attack. But of course, you can't do that if you believe 100% in possession football and you can't do it of you're not set up to counter attack. | | | |

My point was that there's more goals being conceded by tippy tippy playing out from the back than goals being created or scored by playing this system unless you're Man City who have the quality to do effectively. | | | |
