NeoGeo7 10,445 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 We were actually really predictable last night. There were corners where we had the centre backs forward and the ball was lofted in but whenever they stayed back it was played short. Will be easy to predict our corners if that's our approach.

Ger77 742 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 As far as I am aware, teams rarely score from corners, so no problem with that. My small bugbear is the lack of shots from outside the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it in one! That predictability is why we don't break down opponents as often as our possession stats suggest we should. Also allows them a foothold in the game, when an early breakthrough (for all his other faults, Jig seemed to be very adept at breaking the deadlock with an early, towering header) would force them to come out, giving us more space to work in.

kyleh1872 87 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 When you break it down, our current style of play (i believe) will make us a much better team. Think Warbs plays the percentage game in a way, wacking a ball into the box without a clear target you maybe have what a 1 in 20 chance of scoring a goal from it due to all the possible eventualities. I too sometimes get frustrated that we "arsenal" it a bit much and seem to try and walk it into the net. I think playing this type of system it is important to get the balance of it right, if you go too far down the be patient and wait for the clear cut chance route, you can end up being like Arsenal, but if warbs can get them to a point where we play patient and controlled football but we are dominating the game and not quite scoring we have to start taking more risks put more balls in the box, have a shot etc. IF you get the right balance of this style of football you can be clinical and very difficult to beat. And I am more worried about our defence i think we will always score a goal in a game but last season and in the Motherwell game, everytime we are defending my heart is in my mouth Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejay the dj 31,964 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Even the best managers play back to front from time to time . .It seems that option is outlawed under Warbs The use of the whipped in free kick will be used to cause havoc against our defence this season . Strangely enough .It hasn't been something our manager believes can be fruitful it seems . My only criticism of him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuistraHairDo 12,489 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I agree with the OP @broxi if im honest, i have noticed this in a lot of modern football, a prime example would be England in the euros over playing little triangles without a cross at the end of it,the ball going front to back side to side... for me the cross I'm referring too is when a player beats his man gets near the by-line and whips a ball in (not lofted or dinked or punted or lobbed ) WHIPPED with pace at chest height. We would definitely score more goals .....ive watched and played the game for long enough to see that it works. Not saying change anything, just don't be scared to mix it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcoholic 1,348 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Last season was the first in the last 4 that we actually managed to beat the first defender with a corner, so it's not that bad. I quite like it. The opposition players all crowd the box waiting on a cross coming in that rarely happens, we play it short and the defenders all step out a bit and leave gaps to be exploited by short accurate passing and GOAL!!!!!
