I have always liked the tactic of leaving a pacey small player up front on the halfway line when the opposition has a corner or set piece in case we can play a quick ball through , they have to leave at least one fast valuable asset back to cover that possibility- something Bowen did in both their previous two games before us , a player TL or SA size wont necessarily be missed in defence but in that position they would at the very least tie up one maybe two of their lads , probably not a tactic that fits the process (not sarcasm)./ .
Couldn't agree more - but managers (ours anyway) seem adamant that they won't do it. I'm sure I can remember both Hughton and Potter (and probably RDZ was too) being asked about this, and insisting it was more advantageous to have all ten outfield crowded round the penalty area. I know they know for more about football than I do - but honestly, I still can't see it myself.
Our fastest player, poised on the centre circle for when one of the defenders, realising the six yard area is far to crowded to.....err.... fanny around in, scrambles the ball free and whacks it upfield, could be worth four or five goals a season, I reckon!

I’m sure the opposition to this is someone like Mourinho, who regularly left 2-3 players up the pitch because he believed that it meant the opposition had to leave at least one more back. This left his own box less crowded and meant his defenders could attack the ball more easily.

Then again he always built sides of giants…

Agree. In the good old Goldstone days I swear that most teams (including ours) left one or even two players on the half way line when defending a corner. It was always exciting when it got hoofed out and the chase was on.

All major players last season/season before
I know it could make a grown man cry , i like Yasin but i thought Facu was further along than him and i know i am beating FH with that word "process" but it is the very firm and inflexible structure involved within that word that worries me so much .

Bowen against Wolves at home and Bournemouth away was outstanding , and a poor West Ham took 4 points so with the pace we have it must be worth a try :shrug:
