When defending and attacking I don't understand some of our tactics.
When defending we tend to have ALL men behind the ball which I simply don't understand. Why not push up Robinson or Cox, neither of which do much defending against a corner or freekick and both have a lot of pace. You can't be offside in your own half so why not! I would hope the defence are good enough they could cope...it might push them back as well. Why do we never think about hitting them on the break like that?
When attacking (mainly corners) why does Cox always seem to put it into the area with no-one. Just between the 6 yard box and the edge of the area at the far post. He either doesn't clear the first man or gets it way too far. If this is his capiblities why don't we put someone there or why don't we get someone else to take it?
