then it boils down to how you want to win.
by goals scored or by goals conceded.
managers that claim to play attacking football, and when taken the lead resort to backline passing, shows that he has compromised his philosophy.
he wants to win afterall, and by any cost to the beautiful game.

I don't agree that an attacking team can't pass the ball along their backline. As someone has pointed out, it's like a boxer sizing up his opposition, jabbing away to find an opening and lay that killer punch on him.

yeah, theres a fine line between time wasting and waiting for a chance.
its hard to tell, but isnt it too much just passing it for more than 5 minutes?
it can be argued that its strategy, but it certainly isnt a win-win one at that.
certainly not for the fans smile.gif
