I gave two examples where we had two opportunities to make a simple 10/15yard pass to release Matondo in on goal, and both times the player turned and played ball backwards. That's not the fault of the structure, that's players taking the wrong (or easy) option. I think it's the principles we need to improve... I don't recall them, but that's fair: not being brave enough in the pass can be a player problem. Indecision also comes from a lack of direction. Your examples could highlight both a player and coaching problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another xG debate would genuinely tip me over the edge Rousseau. Anyhow. I'm away to set up the firepit and pour myself something tall, red and full bodied.

Possibly, but it doesn't mean they're bad coaches. I mean, DeZerbi (Brighton!) failed at Palermo after leaving third-tier Foggia. I rate Potter, Glassner and Hassenhutl quite highly. Garcia has Red Bull experience, too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
