We will *ALWAYS* lack width at full back, as it's how Dyche sets up the team.
Patterson, Coleman, Young and Godfrey have played there last year, and all were barely going past the half way line, if ever, or rushing back instantly if they miraculously do. Mykolenko did it a bit early on, scored a few and never crossed the halfway line again as well.
Youโre absolutely right of course. We *ALWAYS* lack width at fullback and our full backs barely cross the halfway line before turning around if they by some miracle do. On an unrelated note though Iโm wondering if you could tell me who did the following last season?
Assisted Danjumaโs goal v Sheffield United (a)
Who scored the third v Burnley in the cup from inside the box and who is the left back standing behind him also in the box waiting to tap it in after playing in Beto down the line?
Who scored v Brighton at home from inside the box? and then followed it up against Palace away next game? Whose shot then rebounded off the post to Doucoure for the 2nd?
Who assists Beto vs Newcastle with a first time attacking through ball?
When Beto scores v Bournemouth away who is the player who crosses the ball from the left, and as heโs heading it in who is the player who was following in the back post from the right back position in case he missed it?
When Gana scores v Forest, who is the player who crosses the ball from an advanced position on the left flank?
Couldnโt possibly be any of the fullbacks as that would mean youโd just made a wildly inaccurate overexaggerated criticism that isnโt true.
We donโt attack primarily through our fullbacks, and all their end product could be improved absolutely, but trying to make out they donโt cross the halfway line because Dyche is instructing them not to is just utterly ridiculous.
