The result of playing too much 'monkey post' and approving schools with no sports field is having a bunch of players who call themselves strikers with zero positioning sense and miscued shots.

hehehehe. . . .I disagree. . . . actually, I wish those strikers played more monkey post cos they can't pass the ball, and lack the technique that you learn from monkey post. . . . all these dud strikers are products of the new "football schools" that are springing up everywhere. . . and they dont play monkey post in those "football schools".

^^^ the guys passing isn't the worst as the chances they create is evidence of this. Their positioning and inability to use set pieces effectively seems to point to that environmental sanitation ball where people just run around and pass with no specific tactic or formation. Our clubs needs serious youth coaching!
