[23.2.2]

Sorry for posting without a title -- title should be [23.2.2] Team plays high-tempo, direct football despite instructions

23:19 -- Mutasa plays a one-touch deep pass behind the left back.  GK and RB are available as shorter options, with right CM as a riskier, more attacking short pass.

44:33 -- Heath plays a first-touch pass into the area behind the defense.  I don't even think this is the wrong decisions, but it's a very high-tempo direct play in a system designed not to do that.

46:38 -- Mutasa smashes the ball directly into the penalty area with several other passing options.

46:58 -- Heath plays a long direct pass into the space behind the left back.  Several short passing options are available, including attacking ones.

47:20 -- Dawson plays a long direct pass into the space behind the left back.  Several short passing options are available.

70:54 -- Abu Bakr goes long to the center forward under no pressure with at least five short passing options.

85:10 -- Gouldbourne goes long into the space behind the fullback with his first touch; there's at least three more appropriate passes for the situation and instructions.

86:46 -- Egemen Dogany smashes long with his second touch.  He's under no pressure, has short passing options available, and I've added a team instruction of +1 timewasting.

86:59 -- Pettersson smashes long with his second touch.  He's under no pressure, has short passing options available, and I've added a team instruction of +1 timewasting.

93:00 -- Mutasa smashes the ball into the penalty area with his first touch.  There are other passing options, and we're trying to see out the final minute of a 1-0 lead.  There's genuinely no defending this decision.

93:32 -- Egemen Dogany hits the ball long, needlessly conceding possession again with 30 seconds left in added time.

Thank you for the detailed information and PKM's.

We'll investigate further.

15:28 -- I'd like Paylor to go to Kamara here (I'd also like Kamara to move a little bit more into the pocket, but.)

15:45 -- I'd like Sloane to stay up a little bit further as the man marking him moves to close down Roscoe to give Roscoe a progressive short passing option.  Sloane's hiding behind the defender here.

38:52 -- Hayes drops deep after his goalkeeper clears the ball long in his direction.  That concedes possession to the Workington right back.  He needs to push up and challenge for this ball.

39:22 -- The team plays out from the back a little bit before hoofing long.  For some reason they're playing around the playmaker, who doesn't receive a pass despite being in position to start an attacking move.

Sorry -- didn't mean to post this.  These timestamps go with this PKM and further timestamp:

65:31 -- Paylor needs to pass to Kamara.  He's a playmaker, he's right there.  Paylor clears long instead.  This turns into a decent through-ball because of the persistent issue with players underestimating the height of balls and trying to head them.  I'd be furious if an AI scored this goal against me.  I have been furious because it happens a lot.
