No need to panic Captain Mainwaring,no need to launch it aimlessly forward safely onto the opposing centre halves head.
As expected, the 'hoofball' example is used by you. It doesn't have to be polar opposites, there is a middle ground. I remember Barrow totally outplaying us at home. They didn't piss around at the back, they moved the ball quickly and cut us to pieces. If you've got the ball the opposition can't score, but if you've got the ball on the edge of your penalty area neither can you.

Where does 'panic' come from? It's a discussion FFS, and it was an interesting one until you decided to patronise yet again.
