Going long with the ball. Basically a tactic that relies on getting the ball forward with the least number of passes aka 1. Where the keeper /CB punts in 40-50 years down to the striker.
Pros are that the ball moves quickly into attack. Cons are that the striker must be able to hold the ball under heavy pressure and the pass must be accurate otherwise you end up overturning possession.
Kind of dead today where most teams prefer to play with a striker who presses and is more involved in the buildup play.
One of the best examples of long ball football is big Sam teams or stoke when they just joined the PL.
