Van De Beek, I am sorry but this is the nonsense you have to live with...
Tell me how any world class player will want to come and join this? Sancho knows why he's not pushing for a transfer. He won't progress under this manager

I keep saying that our FB backs may be poor when it comes to crossing and that's by design. Ole never wants crossing. Abi how can one explain why nobody is making that run into the box when we're attacking down the sides. They all want to pass the ball into the box

Ole is not tactical.

The best we are getting from him is top four.

And that might be hard now too, Mourinho is in his second season at Spurs. The second season spell might come in handy

Focus. Use your brain.

I actually watched an Evra interview in which he talked about the match in question.

They came in at half time and everybody was praising Evra because he was having the game of his life and had the opposing winger in his pocket. The game was looking easy and the players were at the risk of losing focus.

That was when SAF started attacking him for minor errors and threatened to take him off for playing rubbish. That sobered everybody up and they went into the 2nd half with renewed focus.
SAF really tried. He would harrass everybody. The other coaches and referees avoided him grin
They could only murmur

Use Greenwood as RWF na. Abi you want the team structurer to change for a bench player like James. Grenwood is already quite good at running those channels and this is where most of his goals come from.

Teams change their structure for talents like Zidane, Platini et al not mediocre talents like James.

Also the team won't be better if James hugs the touchline and keeps spamming crosses into the box. It is a low percentage tactic which is why it has been phased out in modern football.

Your wing forward should contribute with shots, passes, take ons NOT spamming crosses into the the box the way G boys send spam mails.
For some reason I still see Greenwood as a SS or ST. I am not convinced on his ability to beat his man or hold on to the ball aggressively and come in from the wings. He is more dangerous in the box, but will he get into the box with the ball in his feet even if its forcefully?

But I agree with you, he is the best RWF in the team at the moment

This doesn't really work in modern football. You need your wing forwards close to the 18 yr box on either side so they can be an option for both width and be an extra body in the box. The more bodies you have in the box the more likely the chances of a ball falling to one of them.

The full backs should work on their crossing, especially first time crossing. Not just floated but mainly grounders into dangerous areas in the box.

All 3 have spent significant periods in their development playing out wide so it is difficult for them to consistently work on their box movement.
For players who don't have the natural movement of Ruud, Inzaghi, Gerd Muller you need to keep playing the position and work on it daily.

Also most extra skilled or extra fast strikers don't have naturally great box movement because they never had to depend on it.
I get this

Very true,but then why most fans are complaining is that ogs has shown little to convince us that he actually has a game plan,more like he depends on the players individual brilliance to excel
My observation too and I'm hoping he proves me wrong

It will just be too lopsided. If he is hugging the touchline what happens to AWB?

We can't change a superior system because of one minor player's deficiency.

Daniel James is just not good enough for a club aiming for the top. Not everybody bought by Man Utd is United level. We have had Bellion, Djemba Djemba, and Bebe here. It happens.
For me, it's about getting the best out of this team. If Sancho or any other person is going to join, great. But if not, what should be expected of this team?

James hugging the touchline will only reduce the number of bodies we have in the box which is a major reason why we struggle to score goals.

Let us even assume he starts delivering excellent pull outs what are the chances of scoring from them when we have only 1 or 2 people in the box.

The full backs need to work on their crossing while the wing forwards need to work on their box movements, finishing, short passing ( especially in tight spaces).

When a full back crosses the ball there is a higher chance of success when the box is loaded with the CF, LWF, RWF, and hopefully at least 1 of the midfielders.
But if we have the LWF, CF and Bruno or VDB in the box. Pogba or VDB just outside the box. Won't this be enough? It's not like the RW will be banned from entering the box, but that will be when it's the RB with the ball.

It's not the ideal situation, most likely just PowerPoint presentation from me cheesy but we can do something or should I say something must be done. This team is not hopeless lol

Beckham carry pull out come from heaven o. Some people can never become proficient in it no matter how many times they practice while for others it just becomes naturally.

A good pull out however also requires excellent box movement from our strikers and i am yet to see that from them.
Ah how can I forget Becky.

I just feel we should leave the left wing for cutting in while RW should concentrate on pulling out. I believe with more intentional training, we can get many good results from this.

About our box movement, it's very poor honestly and some of us have been mentioning this. I don't know if the players are supposed to be born with this knowledge or the coaching crew is supposed to show them what's expected of them when attacking and when defending. Unless the likes of Rashford, Martial, and Greenwood are not as good as we think they are, we should be able to see some understanding about their positions and play

This is looking like the reality we need to accustom ourselves to right now,he should hug the touchline and I think his crossing should be practiced more in training,if we can't get Sancho this season due to one reason or the other and we still can't get a good alternative, we shoudlnt think of spending much on a stop- gap player if we still intend to go Sancho next year..
Exactly what I'm thinking. No need moaning around over something that has a very high chance of not happening this transfer window. The coaching crew should get to work.

Nobody carry pull out come from heaven. Excuses plenty if everyone allows it in every profession. Nobody go achieve anything in this life if we decide to dwell on the excuses and why it won't work. He can make some crosses if he sets his heart to

James should play that right wing and be there for the pull outs only. The goal should be to get down to the byline and cross to the front or back post anytime he gets the ball. He should live for the assists only abeg. While we have Rashford, Martial and Bruno in the box 18 anytime James and AWB are trying to get down that byline. Pogba or VDB stationed around the box too.
