Steve Miles • Sep 16C. I’d want him to slide the blindside runner in, pulling the right CB away from the runner in the middle and creating the possibility to either shoot across goal, either scoring, or creating a rebound for the central player to attack, or pull back for the runner to tap home, or pull back to edge of the box for the player currently in possession to have a strike2Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 16A. It looks like the striker is going to run onto the ball and be 1 on 1 with the keeper (going by the players visible in the screenshots)2Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 16@Kevin Middleton I can see merits in options A, B & C. I’d be backing my striker to score in a 1v1.2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 19The first thing to say is that there are no right or wrong answers here. What this player does may be different to what you picked, but that doesn’t make you wrong.Everything depends on what the player on the ball can see and execute in the moment. And there are obviously degrees of technical difficulty in each choice for the player.I post these types of analysis pieces to prompt coaches to think about:- how you would coach this- The exercises you would use- The language you would use- If you wo… See more0:161Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 19Given that there was a 3v1 overload on that side, it makes sense that they would exploit that. I’m not sure the player made the right choice in having a shot at goal, but we’re not seeing what he saw, so perhaps the ball into the striker was too difficult to play.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 19 (edited)@Ross Whitehead I think the pass was wrong, but once it is made, it needs to be a 1-2 or go across goal for the tap in1Reply

Nicky Higgins • Sep 19For me he chose the worst 1st option possible here. Drive into the space and commit the defender then play to his right. For me he has played away from goal when the space is there to go more direct towards.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 19@Nicky Higgins I totally agree, Nicky. This is something I put elsewhere, but it might be relevant to the comment you just made.———————Nearly everyone is saying that once the ball is played to the wide player, he should have rolled it across to number 11 for a tap-in.So, how do we help players understand this? One way for me is to split the final third into zones and place some rules or guidance around those zones. For example, the pink area in my diagram could be considered the as… See more0Reply

Sean Ancheta • Oct 12D. I would dribble toward the CB and see I can get him to commit and then play a pass to striker. If the right back commits then I have an option to pass on the outside. I would continue my run and and overload the box.1Reply

Sean Ancheta • Oct 12 (edited)@Kevin Middleton Indeed. I am trying now to instill in my players how to solve problems on the field with different exercises. Sometimes players come up with ideas to beat opponents that I didn’t think of which is great to see. Sometimes I pause and ask the players do you know why you were successful there? Some of them did it on purpose and were trying for a solution.. There are others that don’t know why it worked but it did. Every kid learns differently and their understanding of what they see is different sometimes as well. How can we get the players to see the same thing?2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Oct 12@Sean Ancheta Hi Sean, I just think that sometimes players don’t understand what it is that they’re doing, they just know it’s successful. A lot of players aren’t tactically aware. They play on instinct, and this is fine.I’m sure it’s different at a professional level, but at a certain level in the game, you want players to try and make good decisions based on their teammates’ actions and space that is available. You can coach this so it’s in a player’s subconscious, but the majority of players … See more2Reply
