I said EXACTLY this to my brother at the game today. We were both moaning about how people around us always complain about him being 'too relaxed'.He has a very casual style of play with the ball at his feet. It's not to everyone's taste and some will have their heart in their mouth at times but strangely I never feel nervous.
He leaves it until the very last second to release the ball, as he's aiming to draw their player towards him, which then frees up space for a team-mate who he can pass to.
Don't get me wrong, I think he sometimes makes mistakes, like today with that short pass to let back, but it's fundamental to our style of play and how we build our attacks.
If you think it's wrong (like bernie slave does) then you don't know the modern game.
