When to use "Pressing Whole Pitch"

[dv8r]

when you want to attack and nothing else to lose .. your players will get tired but you will dominate more and create chances

Create chances but don't do much with it... Also you're more vulnerable from counter attacks.

I play better pressing the own half.

you may play better but you give up possession more often with own half. You create more turnovers and interceptions and gain more possession, otherwise with own half, you give possession and only intercept in your own zone.

It all depends on how you want to play and if you have the players to play that style.

What I usually do is play one half with own half and the other with full pitch. Based on what I've seen in each half, I prefer to play with own half pressing. But I guess that's just how I play, many others play with full pitch and it works for them

well the whole idea of pressing high is to trying to gain the ball fast to start an attack .. thus work better with more attacking mentality
sure it is a dangerous style, that is why it should be considered as the last option

Dunno about that, I changed to whole pitch the past 2 seasons and I have one of the lowest, if not the lowest GA in the league the past few seasons.

This season i play with 2 Tommys in my league and I have #2 in GA, so its working.
