Don't get me wrong. As a tactic and with the right players, it can be an effective way to retain possession as opposed to a hopeful punt upfield. However, there are times when to doggedly pursue this tactic is taking too much of a risk and will invariably mean that the ball is lost in a very dangerous area.
You also need to consider the state of the game. If you're winning by a single goal with 10 minutes to play, do you still advocate one-twos with your goalkeeper in and around the six yard box ? I think not and if you were down the City you like most of the fans would be screaming for the defender to clear it away from the danger area.
