Did they wait for the fullback to run 60 yards in order to take a throw in?

 

Did they have 11 men in the box defending corners?

 

Did they turn direct free kicks in front of goal into indirect 3 touch ones blootered into the wall or onrushing opponent?

 

Did they have to pass the ball 6 times sideways and twice backwards before it could be passed forward?

 

Did they have to have a minimum of 6 players playing out of position?

 

 

No to any of those would be a flying start!!

This, a million times. Of all the infuriating, stupid, ludicrous and insane things which have happened over the last few years insisting on sending out a team consisting of 50%+ round pegs in square holes was the thing which most often tipped me from frothing rage into the screaming heebeegeebies.

If we are placing our orders can I have.......

 

Corners delivered with pace.

More movement and willingness to have the ball at throw ins.

Players who have a great first touch and are in total control of the ball.

And pace and energy through the team.

It's not just the last few years, McLeish and Smith did it all the time too. The wide midfield roles in particular in the last 10 or so years have regularly seen strikers, central midfielders and defenders to ill effect.
