Ange hints at how effective Sheffield's disrupt-and-frustrate tactics were for a "we don't stop" Angeball team
Ange's comments are telling here. Heckingbottom wasn't just trying to run down the clock, he was trying to disrupt our flow. Break the rhythm and slow us.
We are known to train with intensity; the ball rarely allowed out of play. Angeball is flowing quickness.
Sheffield set about to disrupt and frustrate that.
It worked for 98 minutes.

@hallenbeck @CoolerPseudonym @coys @spurs Again, thinking back to the Golden State Warriors...
Most of the time, they play fast, pace-and-space, motion basketball.
But occasionally, it doesn't work.
And the goal is to win.
And no one is better at winning than Draymond Green. And so, when needed, he'll muck it up, get physical, get obnoxious, trying to get in the heads of the other players and the refs.
