I think it's like the debate on another thread about the different playing styles of Cardiff and Fulham. Do either of them well (either a possession based approach that opens up defences or a quick front to back approach that puts a premium on creating chances for fast and skilful attacking players) and either works, or do them badly (boring and slow pass-pass-pass sideways or backwards with no threat or lump it inaccurately up to the big man or isolated winger and hope for the best) and neither works.

Passing out from the back to keep possession and draw in the press to create space behind for accurate passes to runners, with a team that has skill, confidence and football intelligence is great. Or there's the Arsenal way which often isn't.

It would be suicide for us at the moment if the opposition are pressing, and none of our goalkeepers are accurate enough with their kicking to draw the opposition in and play over them to free players in the midfield.
