It's risk vs reward. If the opposition are pressing high on the keeper and defenders, and you manage to beat that press, you are probably going to get a chance to score, as they won't have numbers back to defend when you break. Especially if you've got passers like Xhaka and Guendouzi in midfield who can open up the pitch in an instant.
That's exactly how we scored our 2nd goal against Chelsea if you go back and watch that again. Played it back and forth across the back under pressure, stayed patient, beat their forward press, and then it opened up.
I know it gives us heart attacks because Cech looks awkward, but if you actually analyse, we only made one error that nearly resulted in a goal at the weekend, and ironically that was not under heavy pressure, just a really bad pass from Cech - it looked like Cech simply didn't see Arter there. He should easily be able to iron that out, without needing to be any better with his actual feet.
I am happy to continue with this. Yes we've had some moments but it hasn't cost us a goal yet, and we should continue to improve. Cech also seems to be ok most of the time at deciding when to go long.
Everyone talks about Leno being better with his feet, but lets be honest, if he's not starting already then he's clearly not impressing enough in training. Lets get a look at him in the Europa League.
