The aim of football is not to concede and score as many goals as possible, so why do so many players pass the ball back to the goalie particularly when they just can't pick it up. Ashcroft doesn't even look up to see where Mitchell was. Another way teams are playing out from the back, passing the ball across the back line trying to get the opposition to come out. Imo this ends up with the defending team either losing the ball in a dangerous position or just booting the ball up the park and cocedeing possession. Just clear your lines.
