Last one for today!
Time and again I listen to commentators bemoan a flighted cross and subsequent header by their saying 'there was no power or energy in the cross and the forward could not inject enough power to the ball to worry the keeper'
Yet I keep seeing us win attacking free kicks and we all line up (often on the edge of the box) and a cross comes in hanging in the air and dropping onto the mass like a balloon. Why? what is the point?
We have wingers, we have two people standing over the ball and one defender out there. We have the advantage of 2 to 1 and skill and speed for an overlap, short pass and cross yet all we do is float a ball in with no power.
Have the players and or coaches got absolutely no idea?, no innovation?, do they not watch what other teams do (to US and to other teams)? Twice we have played the short, overlap freekick pass on the wing, this season and twice we have scored! Howe may goals have we scored from flighted and powerless free kicks to the edge of the box?
Please can we try something else as to keep doing something that doesn't work is madness (not too dissimilar to my posting here about things that don't change i supoose!) |  |
