I was browsing the Palace website and came across the above and wondered when this first appeared on the site. I suppose my question is: 'How well does our first team squad practice this?
Any thoughts.

To save you having to look it up, here's the relevant part:

"Our philosophy is about six situations within the game but is primarily a possession-based approach that requires excellence in spatial awareness, outstanding movement, technical adaptability off both feet, tactical awareness and adaptability, fluidity, strength and pace of movement and a collective respect and appreciation of working with each other.

Our six situations are:
1. Understanding how and when to play out from the back
2. Controlling and creating in the middle third
3. Creating and finishing in the final third
4. Press our opponents high if and when appropriate
5. Retreat organised, compact and ready to re-press in the middle third
6. Be compact, controlled and calculating in our defending third
These areas will be key principles of our football education."

I also wondered about the art of passing the ball.

If it was a school report I would mark 1,5 and 6 as ‘adequate’ and 2,3 and 4 as ‘must do better.’

1. Shape
2. If a forward pass is on, pass sideways
3. If a sideways pass is on, pass backwards
4. Shape
5. Spending time in the opposition half is not advised
6. Shape
