Our tactic seems to literally not have the ball at all. Not sure I've ever seen a team sit as deep as this from the start.
That's what I mean by a training game. It's how we we do defence v attack. Attacking team starts play from the halfway line, defensive team doesn't cross it.

Think how fit we will be for the second half though.

We're putting little to no pressure on their back line or keeper. Just inviting them.

I don't hate this completely, given our relative form and theirs. Dig in, defend hard, and go for a smash and grab if we're still in it later on in the game. Textbook stuff really that has happened against us so much at home over recent years.
