Et rigtig godt indlæg fra nufcblog der belyser den manglende bevægelse på holdet. Ikke alt er spot on og det er i øvrigt ganske naturligt, at vores bevægelse ikke er optimal (det ligger jo ligesom ikke i den måde vi har valgt at spille på), men det indlægget forklarer på rigtig god vis, hvordan man formentligt kunne få mere ud af Ben Arfas kvaliteter:
http://www.youtube.com/w…MN5aRlDnc3ILook at how he runs and pause. They were one man down, so every time he passed a player, there suppose to be 1+1 player of ours free.
Also, when he is with the ball, why there are no passing options? Why there is no one close to him? Where there is, he passes, and sometimes he doesn’t pass because he sees one or even two steps further and knows that if he will pass it “there” we will loose the ball because of x,y,z. He has that vision, not many do.
Look at min 2:20, he passed 2 players, so 3 Newcastle players suppose to be free. Where are they? Simpsons stand behind and starts walking, there is a huge empty space on the top side of the box, there is no Newcastle player there, why?
0:15-0:19, 2 players on him, he is stuck, look in a radius of 15 meters, there is no one there to give him help. There are 2 players defending on him, and another 2 in the same line to the left. But no Newcastle players. The closest one I think is Ba who is like 30 meters away and running into the box.
0:54. He gets the ball from Ba, and look, he can pass only back to Simpson, why except Tiote, there is no one there in the middle, closer the the center of the pitch? Where is Cabaye? Where is Jonas?
1:13 He gets the ball, in front of him there are 4(!!!) players and another one behind him close to Tiote.
The only passing option is a static, tired Jonas who just stands there. Tiote also starts to walk. Simmo and Ba are standing in a line with the Scums defense, why not to move?
Again, where is Cabaye, why the whole team doesn’t move up, and opens the game for him?
1:36, he gets the ball, 3 players close to him. Yes, he can pass it to Simmo (again, and nothing will happen, like it didn’t before when Simmo just long balled it and nothing happened), or he can try to create something by moving the defense. He passed one, two, three players but look where Cabaye and Ba (left and right) one is behind the ref and with a scum player on his side, the other is behind a sunderland defender.
1:49. He gets the ball and with two touches, leaves behind 4(!!!) defenders. Where are our 4 players that are now suppose to be free? He is too fast for them? They are not waiting for this? Well, it is not his fault.
No option on the left, for him, he sees and tries to pass it to Ba. But stop at 1:56 and count the players:
8 Scums , the ref, and 3 Newcastle players. How is that possible? Where are another 5 players??
2:01
He gets the ball, no options on the left, he is being closed by one player, then another, no options from behind. After taking care of the pressure, and looking around, he is passing the ball, because he has the options, but our team is way too slow in their reaction there, don’t you think?
2:40 after ripping a new one for the two defenders, he goes to shoot. A good idea, but if he would want to pass, he can’t. Look where Simmo and Tiote are. Outside the box, way back. If he will pass there it is like not attacking at all. And look at Shola and Ba, they are waiting for a cross? why not to come and recieve the ball in the middle, to the feet? There is a GK and 5 defenders there, they really think a cross will work?
Stop at 2:53, look at the same thing from a different angle. Ba and Shola are like lovers, standing there together. Why Cabaye, or Tiote, or Jonas or one of the strikers isn’t going in that empty space Between them and Hatem, there is no one there. So or put another 1-2 players for the header, or put another player inside the box who will draw the defense to him and make space for HBA because the moment he going between those defenders, there is another one waiting for him, anyone else from our team would’ve shit his pants long before that.
3:14 he gets the ball, 3:18, look how the players are standing. Only Shola is an option, but why there is no one on the line there, running in the gap, where HBA can see and pass, he needs to know that there is someone there to take that ball and shoot it, but instead, Loven (I think) or Cabaye, and Ba, are inside the box, no way they will ever get the ball there. And in all that empty space there is only one – the ref. Simmo, Tiote, and co. are all too far away, and this is in a 11 against 10 game.
