Actually I think that's an even better way of explaining it. I change my answer!!!

My point still fits your support. They built a system around the North South, quick passing game. More likely to end in a turnover then setting up shop but when it does work, it's far more likely to end in a good scoring chance then blasting shots on net.

It's not "luck" like Lambert so eloquently put it.
