mate please... remember the last season !
diego or giovinco or any other trequartista do not make your attacking force creative !
hell, you guys even said that we need to play camo, giovinco and diego at the same time to be creative enough.
it is really a simple (or stupid) mans logic to say "not creative enough ? just put on another playmaker!".
football does not work that way. one creative player is surely enough, if you get the other guys (worker type of players) make the runs. if you have a creative player he still needs someone to make the through ball to and this guy better sees the lanes and spaces that are available for a pass by the playmaker.
but its not about having one playmaker and one player that makes runs, but pretty much at least 2 or three that see the space and make runs, so you don't get predictable. only if you have many player moving around much and seeking space for receiving the ball, the chance that some of their defenders is too lazy to track that run is high enough to get a decent chance. if only one player is making the run even when his defender is too lazy to pick him up, another one might help out. but the other one can't help out in a situation, where his own opponent is also making a run and forcing him out of position
Well, this is something i've been hoping to change for a while now. When in possession, alot of our team is to static. normally when going forward, there are upcomming wingbacks, wingers trying to find space, SS dropping down to distribute passes, ST looking for openings in the centre.
What do we have ? wel melo doesnt need to move alot since he is DM, and does that pretty good, aquilani is a fine regista who moves just about right, but then it ends.
Our fullbacks are crap, static and dont add anything going forward. making it easy to double up the wingers. krasic is moving, but has 3 players stalking him, and marchisio isnt really a winger and also very static.
quag was good at dropping down, but itsnt like zlatan or del piero prime.
and well, we dont even have an ST.
good fullbacks, would allow us to field martinez on leftwing, would give our wingers more space, its the base from the team. Toni will do something good with all the crosses and balls that come into the box, as a result.
and another thing, del piero said we did nothing with all those freekicks in the box.
true, after we got amauri of, we had nothing close to pretending to be an threat in the air(amauri wasent eighter but he still has his size) This should change massively when toni gets back.
