the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Its probably something to do with the rest of us residing on planet earth. I saw him do it today any number of times. I will watch the game back with anyone who wants and point it out to them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Then your missing it. no to be honest i dont think i am. Its something you have brought up before highlighting the fact and making me pay particular attention. His tracking back is good and something he has clearly worked on. He tracks back far more successfully than shiels and law. Can honestly say only once did his effort in pushing and tracking the player on the ball let me down. The rest of the time he showed great determination Especially for being the point of the diamond. Not something usually expected from that position, but none the less he did it well Edited May 17, 2015 by trublusince1982 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) He walks or saunters back. Stops a yard away from the guy with the ball and watches him advance while he walks towards another player who doesn't have the ball and is behind play. regularly! Maybe that is good defending and it's me who is wrong but it's not for me. Edited May 17, 2015 by the gunslinger 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skill in chasing back comes in shutting the player in fronts options down and directing his path towards our oncoming defensive midfields or wide. Att mid 101 when tracking back. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not stopping a yard behind and doing nothing to influence the player with the ball. It's not just me then. He hides. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
