But I think he'll get ripped a new arsehole in the Championship. And his heading in both boxes is shite for a big lad. Yep I know he’s a defender but his attacking qualities are zero, so many defenders these days are scoring goals in all leagues the lad at Burton banged 2 against us in one game! without looking I bet aimson & jonstone have scored 5 between them Edited March 13, 2022 by radcliffe white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will happily be proved wrong though! And I'm usually wrong about most things in football. It's quite an impressive record really! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 13, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2022 Here's the thing I've noticed about Santos and his heading skills. They go up further than they go across; always. He doesn't go up for corners to attack the ball and f hit it hard towards the goal, he gets under the ball and the ball hits it.

Traf Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm not a fan of lager per sé, but the Madri is a decent drop whenn I've tried it. Hopefully the Wanderers haven't yet worked out how to ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his technique is so poor, seems unable to direct it straight or downwards. I would go so far as to say he should stay back at corners, because he does get his head to quite a few of them, and the effect is to do the defenders' job for them, by normally giving them a goal kick. If you're a defender and you can't win it yourself the next best thing is Santos heads it, job done.

If he can’t win the headers make the space, go for the flick ons, win the second ball, go and stand on the keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Quote On 08.12.21 Dimron said on Brand Evatt: Santos has only been coached in clearing headers where you get your head under the ball. Scoring from corners using your head is different. I now dread corners because we bring our defenders up and the opposition can break on us too easily.

There was an FA Cup tie at Burnden where he seemed to roll the ball down the back of his head and into the goal, I was working with a Yid and a Gooner at the time and we were talking about it for days. George Graham had them practicing corners whereas we don't and that in my mind has been our undoing this season. it would have helped with our goal difference and points tally.
