I understand about drawing teams out but then we have to exploit that, I believe alot of teams think before facing us this will be hard then we just pass it about at the back for the first 30 mins and the opposition grow in stature and that puts pressure on our players. I've always liked teams that attack from minute one as you can be 2 goals up before you know it at this level but I'm not a football coach or manager so who knows.
I agree , I don't know why they/we can't mix it up to stop the them becoming so predictable. Teams know what we are about and play to it. If they press from the off then exploit this with the ball over the top to drive them back and stop the press.!
