So I know that Gus wants us to play it out from the back. And I am impressed with how the defenders are coping with it. But if we do pass/throw it out to El-Abd then there have to be options for him to play it on, otherwise we get rushed and end up with Ankergren rushed into a poor kick.
Yesterday I couldn't believe nobody else showed in the middle of midfield as soon as El-Abd received it. Bridcutt was often left with 2 players marking him and legging it around trying to get space. Most of the time we ended up launching it because there was nowhere else to go.
To sum up... if we want to play it out of defence then we need to have players waiting to receive.
