I wouldn't say so. If it was just 2041 in the front, they are either scoring misses, which leaves 294 to play the clearing game, or they are defending 294, which leaves misses unscored and not cycling.

If I were 1114, I would have spent more of the middle of the match in the midfield. 67 and 177 should have only had 3 or 4 balls to work with. I'd be less worried about starting a cycle until about the 45 second mark, and a lot more worried with getting balls out of 67 and 177's hands (even if they're not scored, 2041's defense ensured they were not leaving the zone)
