April 30, 200917 yr I believe we should leave a man on the halfway line when we are defending a corner. If/when we win the ball, we then have no outlet. We don't break at speed, therefore giving the opposition chance to get back, or we resort to a ball upfield, which then comes straight back at us.
April 30, 200917 yr Author reet, as you say we don't break at speed, so if by some miracle our booted clearance hits our man, the ball needs to be held while the rest think about trudging out to support only davies has any sort of chance of holding that sort of ball long enough as he's one of our better defenders we may be getting to why its all hands to the pumps to defend
must both be tactically naive
everybody back at corners and free kicks indeed
