Jeff signs a new deal on 09:57 - Sep 24 by Highjack
Exactly. Who gives a flying rats arse how good he is defensively when he has the capability of scaring the opposition to death? I would like to occasionally adopt the high risk strategy of telling Jeff and Barrow to not track the full backs, and just stay high and wide on the touchline. If the full backs bomb on and we win the ball back it's just one pass into the flanks and you've got space through on goal.
Then the full backs will be more hesitant to push on knowing they are leaving the opposition dangermen completely unmarked in an attacking position.
It's the same situation with corners. Leave Jeff and Barrow standing up on the halfway line, a player just outside the box, suddenly they have to keep 4 players back instead of completely flooding our box with bodies.
Why can't professional managers and coaches see this when we can?
I couldn't agree more. It just seems so bloody obvious. Take a sodding risk and believe in the others to get the ball.
