I don’t know too much about the high line but I do have a question for those more tactically astute if Chief is playing it correctly.
Obviously the offside line is crucial.
The major issue I see with it is the second goal that AFC scored.
Randall is just in his own half at the defining moment when the pass is made and so can never be offside.
Now if one of your opponents has pace and one of your opponents can weight a pass, surely in this scenario you are shipping a goal every game by having all defenders in the opposition half?
In some games you are going to be absolutely flogged.
Now I don’t know if it still qualifies as a high line (maybe it does maybe it doesn’t) but surely you want the defenders one metre back from the half way line to negate this issue?
In that scenario the goal is not scored.
