Must be nice for those kids to have a goal mouth in good enough condition to allow for that one pass across his own box, lol.

The counter argument to playing out the back is that if your keeper hoofs it long, the opposition might do a smart control, and hit a half volley from about the center circle that will hilariously bounce over your keeper... so better to try and pass it around the back???

I scored a goal like that once - tried to volley a cross field pass to a team-mate that went very badly wrong and turned out to be a high hoof directly at the goalkeeper. (I was just inside the left touchline and was trying to pick out a team-mate in the right wing position for a bit of context as to how woefully inaccurate my attempted pass was.)

My annoyance at a shite pass soon turned to delight when the keeper misjudged the flight of the ball and it bounced over him and into the net.

In a tongue in cheek sort of way

Dean Saunders not happy on talksport today. Reckons he has been keeping count and there have been 44 goals conceded in the pl from playing out from the back.

Not that bad in thirty odd years but Saunders should get a life if he's cutting that.
