When to use "Pressing Whole Pitch"?
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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 themQuote:

Every time ive tried to play the whole pitch it doesn't really make much difference in the result so i figured not to use it...
Attacking + own half works really well for me. Switching to full pitch doesn't really change much for me, in fact it just makes the opposition block and tackle more oftenQuote:

Glad to see that im not alone in finding out that works best...only use full pitch when your desperate...Quote:

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.Quote:

When you use Attacking mentality :) and also at least 5 players on opponent field :)Quote:

Pressing the whole pitch is what dominating teams do against inferior sides that park the bus in front of the goal.
Pressing, pressing, pressing until it breaks down. Not rarely, the underdogs snatch a counter attack goal and things go wrong, you all have seen this.
I press whole pitch when i attack and play offside trap, works well for me, if they are supposed to make a difference, then they don't make a bad one.....
I must use whole pitch pressing and hard tackling against better team.
I use it every game.

when pressing whole pitch you are also more vulnerable for counter attacks
