Aye because that’s what happened when you are trying to play football with players that can’t as soon as it goes back to the defenders under a bit of pressure they shit themselves and hoof it
Trying to play like Brazil with league 1 players man

You can still pass the ball and move. My under 18 side do it pretty well

They might have the players to do it !
We don’t actually get anywhere that’s the problem you have to have some kind of intent to cause problems not just tread water

We saw last season what happens when we faff around at the back and midfield.
To get out of this league we need to be more direct.

Your under 18s or Sunderland ??? Do we shite man ozturk ??? Baldwin and flannighan absolutely shit their pants every time the ball comes near them and they just give it away it’s easy to pass the ball about for the sake of it but you have to be actually getting somewhere with the ball ! We don’t it’s so easy for teams to just man mark us and wait for us to give the ball away

This often happens too - every 13th pass or so.

You're clearly unaware we can work on these things in training. Stick to your captain cavemen tactics sunshine
Or just work on things in training to get the ball moving quicker and passing with a purpose.

They need to get balls into the box and get up the pitch quickly, not piss around with the ball in our half for ten minutes then hoof it back to the opposition.

Saw enough of that last season.
Was thinking more about playing ball forward, running with pace at defenders.
Force the fckers to make mistakes instead of allowing them to do it to us.

Totally understand the concept of working the opposition around and keeping the ball and picking the time to make runs etc. What we ended up doing last season was passing for the sake of it and would would see the odd player make a forward run but then there was no real intent to get the ball forward or support. we'd the pass it about working it back to a defender who would then proceed to hoof it forward anyway when pressed, generally losing it.
Given we have a lot of smaller players who are reasonable on the ball, especially at this level it's absolutely bizarre how we weren't more positive and better on the ball.
Either the players are being drilled to play the way they or they aren't being given the confidence and belief to play in a more composed attacking manner as it's not natural to them.
Unfortunately I think a lot of it stems from the manager.

That’s what I’m saying the opposition just have to make sure they all have a man and we can’t actually cause any damage with the ball as the passing is so slow and laboured

There is a basic rule commonly appled in modern football. It goes something like this. If you retain possession the opposition cannot score past you.

Sort of breaks down when you haven't got a pair of Silvas, a de Bruyne, a Sterling and an Aguero a bit further up the field.
