side passes virtually non-existent

Now there’s an idea. Forward passes only! A sort of reverse rugby.

Which is fine if you have forwards with strength and a good first touch or pacy wingers who can run onto a through ball.

And you have to know when to make that forward pass, which involves players moving off the ball.

Nothing wrong with side passes if they create space and drag opponents out of position. Better than giving away possession.
