Legod Third Coming Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Anyone watching another red and white striped team this evening? Their third goal shows the value of whipping the ball in fast and low - it can come off anyone and go in! We seem to always float balls to the back post at the moment, with heading back across goal the only option. Why?? It's becoming a bit predictable and it's very hard to score from directly.

Saint_lambden Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Incredibly frustrating as to why we didn't do it a couple of times last night. Fonte had it near the right touchline on one occasion with plenty of space and just needed to drill it but hesitated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintNeil90 Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 We did hit some low ones but they never got past the first man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 I think our full backs need to improve their crossing. We had loads against Cardiff that were cleared or just over hit. Low crossing isna good shout though. I think the movement of Sharp and Lee will make us more dangerous from our crossing. Lambert is dangerous at the far post too to either head it across or knock it in. Our full backs do need to improve their crossing though, especially Richardson.

Saint Charlie Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Fox has a great cross but doesn't advance up the pitch enough when we attack to actually use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Did we do that diagonal pass in the air across to the edge of the box for the lambert knock down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you check the assists table my friend. As for low crosses - we actually did get a few in, but when you're playing the diamond formation (as we were for most of the game) it's difficult to get someone to the byline as it's generally only the full-back running down the wing, and they're A) knackered after sprinting all that way and B) reluctant to give the ball away whilst behind the opposition goal as they are then ridiculously out of position as defenders.

Wiggles31 Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Assists are not always from crosses. Granted though its not a huge weakness but an area for some improvement. Fox has a great delivery but never advances enough and Richardson gets into excellent positions but his final ball can let him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainchris Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Fox has a great cross but doesn't advance up the pitch enough when we attack to actually use it! Yes and this makes it difficult for Lallana to play with him as it leaves two defenders on Lallana with them not having to cover Fox which is why Lallana always performs better with Harding in the team attacking on the overlap and leaving Lallana with just the one guy to beat...........
