We have lost our way recently in the final third.Too many defences are playing square onto us.We are bereft of ideas once our midfield have exchanged passes.Marky G flies down the wing only to turn inside.JCR goes down the wing quicker than anyone but stops to look for support.Everyone looks to play Maher the ball from wide positions.Fred and Ginger recieve the ball then play to either Maher or the wings who are in line with Maher.
Now then,can you all see what's happening here?Out of all those scenarios above that we see happen week in and out,have we managed once to turn their defenders around and face their goal? NO.Playing like this means we take the ball forward,then back a bit,then sideways.Because we are not Arsenal but instead players from the bargain bucket,we do lose the ball somewhere along this passage of play.
WE COULD lump it over their defence to run onto.(Tried and failed dismally against Hull)
WE COULD get down the flanks,beat any covering defenders and cross or shoot.(see points made on JCR and Gower above)
OR WE COULD confuse the opposition by overlapping runs and coming out of position.
Third option seems best to me,and there is one player who does exactly that .Young Mr Hooper.He runs at players whether out wide or thru middle.He SHOOTS on sight.He battles endlessley and chases lost causes.
HOOPER CREATES FU%&ING MAYHEM.And this young kid has been the reason for any turn around we have talked about recently.JCR,swap wings please,Hoops just has to play in your position wide right.
