Negative tactics: not trying to score goals. Simple as. High line, deep line, parked bus etc are all secondary factors. I wouldn't say that our tactics are totally negative but just that scoring goals appears to be a secondary or tertiary concern to AVB next to abstract things such as possession or territory and that mentality appears to have been transferred to the players. I don't see many forwards coming on as subs during the game looking excited to get a chance to fill their boots. There's no murderous intent from the start to cut the other side up. There's possession, pressing, passing etc etc and our intent builds up and builds up as time runs down until we score or the whistle goes.
And fuck me I don't even want to talk about what happens to our mentality once we do score.
