The problem will full manual for me, is that I finding myself playing in a repetitive way, meaning that I'm only using short passes.
Do you guys use long balls as an approach when playing full manual??
Most definitely i play long balls. Once you get the hang of it and with the right player it can feel almost as good as scoring when you play a good one.
I played one with De Bruyne the other day across the pitch which was flicked on to Sane but he miss controlled it and it went out of play. I had to watch the replay because of the pass because De Bruyne had two players around him but was able to find enough space to play it.
