Not great so far 

They're playing with 11 men in their half, with no interest in trying to win the ball. 

It's a difficult thing to break down.

I feel like the tactic here is give their defenders the ball and then win it back, in their third, they can't deal with our press at all

And/or frustrate them into pressing when we slow it down and catch them out.

The game plan makes sense and might well work, but it's incredibly **** boring.

The BBC are probably wondering whether to show some Eastenders reruns instead of the second half.

We get into some great positions and just don't look to get shots off. We do over play at times.

Yup we become a bit static at times when we can't break teams down.

Tbf it looks worse when the other team is basically refusing to press until we're in their third of the pitch

Because we are allowing them to set because we don't move the ball quick.

They ain't going to move if we aren't....easy defending.

They ain't pressing in final third....we have gone long most of the time and they have soaked it up.

Move the ball quick the space will open up naturally
