What you call messing about at the pack others call drawing the press.

Clement mixes it up more than our previous two head coaches but it is still integral to our tactical approach. It drives me crazy how people that I sit near go apoplectic when we take a short goal kick yet profess unbridled enthusiasm for Big Phil as if he has nothing to do with how we choose to play our goal kicks etc.
