The thing was tonight Rickie was coming deep from the position of the lone striker, subsequently giving the CB's a decision to make as they don't know whether to follow him deep and leave space behind or keep their defensive line. It worked well today as their were pacey players coming from deep that could then be picked out. Unfortunately we don't have those pacey players (maybe besides J-Rod?) so when Rickie retreats deep he doesn't have that option and usually has to play it backwards, and IMO this leads to our (sometimes) pedestrian looking attacks and this isn't a criticism of Lambert by the way. I'm not sure of Osvaldo's speed, could he be a runner from behind or coming in from the wings?
