Passing lines:

Option 1. Can the ball go directly into WB from GK to set up early attack

Option 2. RCB to Look to play into the RWB - delivery may be space in behind or infront to feet depending on defensive shape

Look to carry the ball into attacking third or link with attacking midfielder/forwards with a view to build final thrid entries

Option 3. If the RWB isn't available to play into, look to play into RCF

Option 4. If RWB or RCF are unavailable look to play inside to RDM who will look to play into RWB

Option 5. If non of the options are availble recycle the ball through the GK who may look to switch the play

Once the red line is broken players will recycle the ball back to the GK ensuring all payers get a touch on the ball with 2 touch maximum

Ensure players positions on the pitch are effected as the ball progresses up the pitch
