Football has gone shi'ite when we are more bothered about how good a striker is with his back to goal than how good he is facing and bearing down on goal.
I hope that the playing with 1 sole striker on the half way line, fashion with no intent in getting the ball into the final third is just a passing phrase, bring back proper crosses from wide positions for FORWARDS to attack.
Its pass, pass, pass in unthreatening positions for ages and then a hoofball to somebody - they might as well have done hoofball to ages before.
What's the point?
Pass forward with a purpose and then get a cross in so that a forward can become a proper striker!!
Football at the moment is dire and uninspiring.
