It's not the pace it's the technique that stops us playing faster because we've got players that can't pass, can't control the ball or stand next to their marker all game.

But this whole tippy tappy stuff I see on here is really lazy. The first goal we scored wasn't even a case of a rapid change in pace. It was good work from Iwobi too hold that ball up and then find the open space.
Yeah. The ball just materialised out of thin air at the feet of Iwobi, who also materialised out of thin air, who passed it to Ramsey, who also materialised out of thin air. In fact nothing at all ever happened before Iwobi touched that ball.

The goal had EVERYTHING to do with direct play as opposed to shit, negative play.
