Possession based football shouldn’t be confused with attacking football, the two can go hand in hand but not always. We constantly heard during Lowe’s tenure about how ‘attack minded’ we were, when in reality a lot of our play consisted of passing side to side and not penetrating. Under Schumacher we’ve become more pragmatic, we still play attractive football but we now prioritise results - being clinical and keeping the back door shut, instead of simply focusing on possession and pass completion.
