John Batacan • Jul 12I would want the player to pass to the LB because it breaks lines and gives LB opportunity to progress the ball forward into the middle/attacking thirdPass to GK (with time & space) would be second option as the GK could switch field to LB and/or give team to reset into attacking shape in their defending third.2Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Jul 13I think a lot of players would play the way they are facing (GK) which encourages the press on to you. There’s scanning to know the LB is on, but also communicating from teammates; you might not spot the ball out to the LB but other players will have. So they need to tell you.2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Jul 13@Stephen Kavanagh 100% StephenI wouldn’t be unhappy if my player played the RB because that forces the opposition wide player into a decision which may lead to space behind that pressing line1Reply

Gino Adolf • Jul 19It depends on the momentum of the game for me I love possession type football therefor a pass to the GK would be my first option drawing the opposition out , from the GK a pass to the LB for a pass in the mid-field with the left wing dropping in creating a chance space for my LB to overlap, a one-two touch play from CM and wing for a long/through pass to the LB1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Jul 19@Gino Adolf Good breakdown Gino and you are correct, everything would depend on your game model and style of play.Lots of coaches would see a pass back to the GK as negative (not me!)0Reply

Michael Cloonan • Jul 19I think the pass into the LB looks the most ideal in the professional game where actions are usually executed more effectively as that will break the lines and the in possession team can break at speed.What I will add though is that in the youth game the pass into the LB is risky as weight of pass needs to be right otherwise the CM on the opposition team is in a postion that if he anticipates the pass and it is under hit he can intercept and they can begin attacking in a 5v4In the youth game (or… See more1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Jul 19@Michael CloonanMichael, if those are the demands of senior/adult football, do you think we should be asking youth players to execute the action and accept that they may mess it up?Or do you think we should be sticking to the parameters of what players are technically capable of at the age and stage of their learning.That’s an interesting discussion for me.2Reply

Michael Cloonan • Jul 19 (edited)@Kevin Middleton That’s a really good question Kevin and definitely something to be given some thought and discussion about.I suppose there is an argument for bothWe are developing players to move towards playing the professional game so I suppose there is the need to challenge them to execute actions that may be more complex so possibility of messing upWe also need to be conscious of supporting their current needs, so asking a player to execute actions within the parameters of their age and sta… See more1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Jul 19@Michael Cloonan That’s a great explanation, Michael. Thanks for taking the time to write that.For me, it just highlights the need to have a game model that is defined and then a curriculum framework around that, so players are learning what senior football requires in a scaffolding manner.This example is a great one as technically a player may not be able to execute the direct switch of play yet, so the team are encouraged to play around a block. But the principle is the same….. they want to … See more2Reply
