Slade misses the point and was just being contrary!!

Morrison opted for a "safe" pass across the field not one designed to switch play or create an opportunity to attack down the flanks!!

Full backs and centre halves have been told not to come "short" to receive ball from Goalkeeper which results in a contested punt up the field.

The rare moments when in possession, players do not make themselves available to keep the move going by moving into space to receive the ball back.

When short passing does occur, it is generally when teams are closing us down quickly and so the pass is made out of panic putting the receiving player under pressure.

He knows all this as he decides the tactics and they are basically knock it as long as you can or bang it into the box and we will try and get a set piece from there high up the field.
