One thing I have noticed is that we very rarely play the ball back to our CB’s
in possession. If the ball goes out to the fullbacks, you best believe the ball is going to be played down the sideline or a cut back into the middle to one of the midfielders.

The results are 50/50. Sometimes it works, and other times it results in a bad pass and/or touch and we are then under pressure.

It’s hard to say to simply just change that because we do score lots of goals and we win a lot, but against top quality teams, giving the ball away too many times can be too much.

I’d personally like to see some variability. Sometimes go down the channel, and other times cycle the ball back around the back line. Make the defense cover the entire field and it wears the defense out more to cover the whole field. I don’t know if they lack the quality to switch the ball from FB to FB either, but that pass is almost always open and they never looks for it.
