pauly15 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Small pitch = short passing/not much speed? long pitch = direct & pace etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonz Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hmm. I never pay attention to pitch size, I always use Standard for my teams. Someone else could shed some light in this question probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Long Pitch: Favourable to direct play, best played with fast strikers and defenders as there will be a lot of space. May need good TM too. (Lower Leagues) Long Wide: Direct Wing Play, again favourable to fast strikers and good crossers. Standard: Mixed play with players used to playing both ways. Short and Narrow: Arsenal type play, good movement needed. Short Wide: Again quick with movement but wider play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauly15 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 So... what would you play without pace? Also what about pitch size and tempo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 It would depend on the compusure, technique and passing skills of the players. Rushed poor technique=bad pass Rushed good technique+good composure=good pass I'd tend to play a quick short passing game with good players whereas with 'bad' players you'd play slow and controlled direct passing when you receive the ball. You don't want to be booting it up straightaway when there's only gonna be one person up, slow it down and bring more people into play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaban Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The general rule is: The larger the pitch, the more space there is, so technique and speed are more important. The smaller the pitch, the less space (especially in midfield), so strength and work rate are more important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raggaralling Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 i tend to choose the biggest pitch i can and then try and strech the opposition apart to create gaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but still a technically gifted player will stand out on a small pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also need to consider defensive strategies too from your team and oposition ie are you lower league or top flight as wide pitches are hard for compact tight 2 banks of 4 defending. A narrow pitch means defending this way easier in terms of smothering space but risk being done over the top and space left between defence and goallie. Drop too deep you isolate the forwards or stretch too much. A way too help is having a goallie capable to sweep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
