Playing out from the back

[Eddy_JukeZ]

We can do it with the right amount of work and training.

Lindelof and AWB don't help though. Both of them labor on the ball too much. Matic and Pogba can be guilty of the same.

 

[M Bison]

exactly. Now close this silly thread.

The video doesn’t really start early enough. We played it across the back line under pressure before it got to AWB.

Okay. Still, I dont think Southampton did well at all in that situation leaving Pogba in all that room.

 

[Catt]

The 2-1 goal showed how it's done.

We need work on the training pitch. Worse teams than us are better at it.

Maguire has been caught on the ball more so far than Lindelof

Wan Bissaka can not play out the back. The right back version of Smalling. In fact, Shaw is the only one out of our first choice defence who looks comfortable.

Oh god not again.

Thing is it seems as though we aren’t allowed to do anything else, as though it’s a policy that we must enact, instead of playing the situation as it demands.

Smalling is better on the ball than all of the current back for bar Shaw.

We are so shit at it when facing an organised press. I thought it was because we played Fred and Mctominay but clearly not.

 

[Bastian]

Said it elsewhere, we've improved our ball playing ability in the backline but we have very little composure, so any pressing will cause a bit of chaos. Doesn't help that our (very good) GK is pretty dreadful with his distribution.

What, hahahaha. That cheered me up a bit. Thanks.

Maguire and De Gea, our captain and most senior player and are major culprits as to why we are poor playing out from the back. They make far too many mistakes.

The main culprits are the goalkeeper CBs and fullbacks. AWB needs to improve with the ball. Shaw is actually pretty good usually. Maguire for someone who is supposed to be good with the ball is distinctly average when pressured and the goal keeper, well you dont even need to speak about him
