Depth
This is when the players in the attacking team spread out around the pitch . You should make sure that players are behind the player with the ball but also some infont of the player with the ball.This allows more passing opportunities for the player with the ball and also having players in your team around you all of the time, you have more support so therefore if your tackled then theres more chance of your team ( attacking) keeping the ball and you could then go on to score a goal.

Width
Width in attack is when you and your team play the ball wide to the sides of the pitch as much as possible. This helps you to take the ball up the wing at a fast pace and avoid being tackled. Using the width in the game also helps create space and time for passing oppertunities to your team in the hope you can get the ball up and shoot. Width can also draw out defenders again creating space for passing oppertunities.
