If you break it down, you are more likely to have a goal kicked against you by going long down the line than sideways across goal. Not immediately, but overall.
How many kicks across goal occur before 1 misses like Wieterings? That might occur once out of 100 kicks. There is always a free man running sideways to kick to. It is a high % option that comes off more than any other kick.
Now the alternative, long down the boundary.
50-50 option at best.
What happens to the 50% chance that doesn't go our way, a lot of that comes back at us. If only 5% results in a shot on goal, it is still 5 times more likely to get a shot on goal than the across goal kick.
The higher % option is to maintain possession.
I'll agree to disagree...the more times you over possess the ball in the backline the more chance you have of turning it over IMO....
