Precisely - it's a game of two halves. The fourth third is as elusive as the false nine - only seen and known by the most tactical of geniuses (ask Messrs Hart or Barton). I suspect that 'the final third' became a thing when managers tried to divide the pitch up into sections and realised that most Premier League footballers were unable to count beyond 3 without the help of their agent. | ![](/images/avatars/7786.gif) |
