Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[PhilM]

Never seen long ball so effective

It’s shocking how their full backs are given so much time and space to launch balls; don’t get me wrong, the passes are good but it must help a lot.

I would love our players to get in close to them early on and ‘show them’ that they’re under pressure: close those two down and you could subdue a lot.

I tell you what though, notice how many of their long balls are actually hit first time.

I've just seen both of their full backs hit bobbling balls 50 yards, first time, straight to a red shirt, while under pressure

Now either, that's insane luck or...I just don't know.

And it slips again

Arnold, Robertson and VVD time and time again, game after game given the freedom of the city. Stop these balls at source and teams might have half a chance of cutting out these balls that end up finding the front men.

Yep Henderson also good at the long balls. Hopefully Carlos got a plan

Problem is Phil, which players do we have who can do that consistently during a match? Agree with your theory though.

They are so timid, no aggression, not really seen Shef much this season so dont know their usual game.

Nope normally show much more fight and threat

Richarlison, DCL, Kean, Walcott - all capable of pressuring their back line and not letting them settle.

Whether they do or not though is a different matter mate because everyone seems happy enough to let them have the ball even though it's their defender's who create the most assists.

One is a consummate professional who has always looked after their body and the other is an ale loving, granny porking smoker.

And a brilliant, world class footballer
