sad imo. playing football at that age should be about individual brilliance and the kids expressing themselves as footballers.
True, but that was pretty impressive. Enjoyed the comments about passing across the box being a complete no no. They have obviously never watched De Zerbiball :smile:

Really?! I thought there was an abundance of individual brilliance in that clip - particularly the perfectly weighted first time pass that played in the eventual goal scorer. The movement on and off the ball was a joy to watch.

I would far rather watch that than some kid dribbling through the entire opposition without passing once because they are playing in a team and a league completely unmatched to their skill level.

Spot on, not sure how anyone can criticise that clip, very impressive

I get the whole FAATB when we are trying to invite the press in order to break forward and create overloads further down the pitch. What puzzles me is when we do this at 2 goals up and with 10 mins to play. Surely the risk:reward calculus changes depending on the score. How I'd love to see some good old fashioned going to the corner flag or hoofing it into row Z when protecting a lead and under pressure!
