"I Don't Shut Up Shop" 11:05 - Oct 17 with 410 viewsjayessess

What's going on here then?

3 minutes left and our defence is on the edge of our box and our midfielders sat in a bank of five barely 10 yards in front of them, applying zero pressure to the man on the ball. This is the move that led to the corner.

Is this not "shutting up shop"?

No, because they are merely in the way, rather than proactively preventing the other team from being able to play the ball into our box and follow up with a shot or header.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

It's more a question about the intention rather than effectiveness.

Cook reckons we don't "shut up shop", but here we are sitting deep in two rigid banks of 4 and 5, putting no pressure on the ball. Whatever it is we're not proactively seeking a 3rd in this setup!
