Keane was dwarfed by the German centre halves, there's no way he'd have beaten them to a cross from a corner

I agree - therefore, don't cross the ball directly. Work the ball in on the ground and have your striker waiting where he should be - in the box.

AS i said on sunday that match meant nothing, it was a C team for germany in a game they didnt care for, just look how the czechs even beat them well in germany. Ye read into and it like most games expecting a change in thinking and fortune, but now we are right back in the same situation. This is a disaster and we have the players certainly to be doing more.
