they dont show for the ball because they have no options. And when they do show for the ball they punt it anyway as midfielders(wingers especially) simply are not good enough to receive a pass with their backs to the opposition goal, besides cyril maher. so it always goes long to the strikers with the midfielders picking up scraps/knockdowns.
this way of playing is horrible but is the best way to play when your players have limited skills and the fact that 1A defences are so poor that they fall over themselves waiting for a high ball come down. like what happened with geraldines against summerville in the cup semi final.
you are right in what you are saying that punting the ball long will get you no where in premier.
if they sign 2 wingers, a centre mid and a striker then i think they can play decent football in premier next year. If not then it will be the same old stuff.
this is only my opinion so everyone at the ville relax if ye dont agree, ye know more than i do. its been a great year for ye and best of luck saturday.
