It's unfair to blame the back 3 for long balls to nobody when they're put under intense pressure by our own players.

You see it all the time from the also-rans in the PL. The constant sideways passing between midfield & defence, followed by the back-pass to the goalie at the slightest hint of an opponent coming within 5 yards.
It often goes on for minutes on end - Yawn! & it's killing the game.

do not forget the other one. the team who likes to play from the back. this usually means the keeper plays it short to a defender who then pass it around the back, goes to a mid fielder who then passes it back to a defender who lumps it over the half way line. the keeper could have done this in the first place without all this pointless passing with the defence then being higher up the pitch.
