Route One vs. Tiki Taka Football Ruined My Life

    • American football

The panel turn their forensic eyes on the question of football tactics and, with a respectful nod to one of the great Monty Python sketches, their wider reference to the world of philosophy. In particular this edition sets the supporters of the philosophy of Route One against the supporters of playing out from the back or Tiki Taki as it is sometimes known.  The main point at issue is the alleged superiority of either the long ball tactics favoured by Stan Cullis’s Wolves, Graham Taylor’s Watford and Harry Bassett’s Wimbledon as opposed to the subtler arts of passing out from the back as perfected by Pep Guardiola.  But if your team is winning, does it really matter what tactics they employ to do so?
