Keyblade Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I don't understand why some managers elect to just sit back when they get a lead. There's like 20 years worth of evidence that it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 1 minute ago, Zatman said: or in West Ham case the last game they played When Dean Smith says he wants his team to keep scoring even when they have a 3-0 lead it sounded novel and refreshing because it doesn't appear to be the de facto standard in football, but it's really the only logical approach one would think? You're more likely to score when you're playing on the front foot and more likely to concede when you're sitting back. It makes no sense to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a combination of things really...you put loads of running and effort into going 2 or 3 up in first half and get tired so start to sit back and defend less space and condense the pitch especially if there's another game a few days later. One goal lead and barely attacking is very dodgy though and Spurs for one have wasted countless points just defending like that in second halves despite having Kane and Son on the pitch so Mourinho's actually one of the worst around for it nowadays in premier league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep its a balance but still need to offer a counter attack, I think one of the best defensive effort this season in that regard was us vs Liverpool. We defended a lot and gave them the ball but a quick ball over the top to Ollie or Jack completely baffled them especially when they were chasing us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was right up to the point he took a heavy touch and nearly kicked the ball out over the goal line for a goal kick. He got to it and swung in a great cross to be fair to him. He's got the physical attributes, just not technically good enough at the skills of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAVFC Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Wolves fans in the main saying what we knew when Adama was here. Running down alleys, no ebd product and no brain. He had a purple patch for a few months last season which was ridiculously hyped up. My Wolves mate would sell him tomorrow and it seems they've finally woken up to what he is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a game has been won by a team shutting up shop, but like zonal marking at corners or playing it out from the back the failures are so spectacular that we overestimate how often they happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
