Funneling 101 - The basics
Funneling is the process of clearing buildings on the left and right sides of your attack entry point to direct your troops towards the center or your objective. See images below.. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO IMAGE 5. All buildings are destroyed EXCEPT for the 2 elixir collectors. This is done DELIBERATELY so that your main attack force has a target moving forward. They WILL NOT SPLIT to the sides. Please note this is only an example. In many cases buildings are lying unprotected so only a minion or a wizard by itself is sufficient per building.
Most attacks fail because players have not created a funnel. Typically players tend to drop golems and spam wizards behind them to clear exterior buildings. This works sometimes but you run the risk of having your troops split to the sides.
