'The Advantage' - Peno shoot out revamp?

So if people are saying that basically whoever wins the advantage will just defend for half an hour, then why are they against it as this isn't so different to the status quo?

Surely it's better to have one team defend and one attack rather then two teams just play for penalties and bore the arse of everyone?

This way, at least one team will have to go for it!!

The team who won the advantage may go through based on it but at least it would have livened the last half hour up.

What's not to like?

Penalty shootout as before - Can't see a problem here.

One team wins or loses the shootout based on a mix of skilll and luck - Or here?

But if the losing team manage to play good football and score a goal from play - i.e. be successful at attacking football, they can still go through.

I'm realy struggling to see how people can protest against this?

The only truly valid argument I can see is that defensive teams will just shut up shop for the last 15 minutes of normal time hoping to pick up the advantage and go on to keep a clean sheet.

However, this isn't at all different to what happens now in big games where teams are more scared of conceeding in the closing stages as opposed to hoping to score.

The only difference is that if they don't pick up the advantage, they have to attack and if they do, the opposing team have to attack.

Basically this is the away goals rule reworked and implanted on single game fixtures - the away goals rule rules(duh!).
