This is what Brendan said
I remember my time at Swansea where you would make a backward pass because you could not go forward,” he said (Celtic FC on YouTube).
“The crowd could recognise what was happening.
“They clap, they square the pass, then you play a forward pass and it changes the point of attack. It is recognising the game and that feels good for the players. They do not see that as a negative, it is to start a new attack.”
This is nothing how it was like under Russ....the ball went sideways and backwards despite there bing opportunity to pass forward |  |

Rodgers is ok in my eyes , anything else regarding the Club he manages makes me want to throw up. | |

When it's all about looking to switch the point of attack then there is a point to it. When it is passing it back without looking to switch the point of attack that is a different issue. | | | |

This is what we try to do now, albeit less successfully and with inferior players.
We often try to go down one flank, get crowded out, go back to the fullback, then centre back, across the back line and forward down the other flank. Obviously this is 30 seconds or so of unchallenged possession and affects the possession stats.
It’s essentially what he’s describing.
The difference is we were much more incisive when we got past halfway with the likes of Rangel and Dyer playing triangles with our midfield. The bit about starting again and changing the point of attack is the same. | | | |

Against QPR passing across the back was a lot quicker most noticeable was the ball went to Ronald without Key getting in the way, then as need Key was in a position to support with good movement from himself, Ronald and Franco quickly opening spaces.
One little point about moving the ball across the backs is the player receiving the ball must be aware of the players around both his own team and opposition not once as the ball is order to go from one side to the other to switch the point of attack do we look to switch it back to the side the ball original came from because as the opposition shift to the point of defense on the other side, same can quickly open up on the original flank the ball came from.
We are far to rigid in set movements. [Post edited 9 Jan 20:34]

When it's laboured it gives the opposition time to reset | | | |

Exactly.
Passing and moving needs to be done with intent and tempo, both of which are completely absent in Williams/Martin style football. Grimes can sit there racking up as many completed passes in the final third back and fore between the flanks as he likes, but it'll get us nowhere.
People are getting excited about Ginelly returning to action. Odds are if he returns he'll either get the ball far too deep because he's had to come back for it, or far too late when the opposition have had time to double up on him. Then some will blame him for it. |  |
