It's called keeping possession of the ball, which we did well. No panicking, no hoofing it, if there is nothing on go back and start again, look for another pass, keep hold of the ball. Considering Tony Moon for example had 94% pass completion I think your crap passing statement is way off. We passed the ball out of danger calmly and knocked it about very well.
Don't want to nit pick too much mate, but we did not keep possession well. We had 36% possession for the game at a passing accuracy of 70%.
What we did well though, is use what little possession we had, incredibly well. Quick, direct counters through the heart of their defence. We put away our chances, and Arsenal didn't.
The counter-attacking game plan is what Lambert set out to do against Arsenal and it worked a treat.
Against lesser opposition, we may play a possession based game, but it didn't happen against Arsenal.
