So you were talking about "clearance", typical english clumsy defending that "laugh die" me
Regarding the possession not being integral to the english game(even manchester united are struggling with this system, let alone the other lesser clubs.there are probably many reasons for this. It is part of charles hudges(longball system founder)'s legacy. English footballers have traditionally been less proficient technically so they tend to give the ball away. The colder weather causes players to run more, which means the game is played at a higher pace, which means more mistakes are made. And then there is socio-cultural explanation: english crowds (including the mu fans in cari)don't like to see ball passed sideways and demand direct fooball.
