We made more than 25 continual passes (with two hiccups) before we scored. According to the radio report (I was counting).
I think the tippy-tappy style is just too difficult for our players to get the hang of for a full 90 minutes. I hope we persist with this as it worries the opposition and forces them to adapt their game (although West Ham might not). And playing 4-3-3 leaves us a man short in the middle.
We seem to be blocking opposing attacks through the middle and restricting our opponents to crosses and long shots. There is always a chance that a 30 yarder will go in. Rather a desperate attempt by opponents that have run out of other ideas.
But a lot of our goals have come from running at the opposing defence. This is not tippy-tappy style. Altogether it is better than just lumping the ball into the channels.
I was disappointed though. It appears that Millwall were beatable with their rather rigid man-to-man marking.
