This is a good discussion / exchanges by the way.
1.
It wasnt fullback who mark recce to begin with. It was their flanker. Which is why recce has to play it early cross or play it again on the middle.
Otherwise he needs to try past 2 WBA players (flanker and fullback) to put in a decent crosses.
This is a stat from squawka football:
Crosses attempted in the first half of West Brom vs Chelsea:
◉ Reece James (12)
◎ Every other player on the pitch combined (5)
He created more chances (4) than any other player on the pitch.
This is not a coincidence isnt it? But how many crosses from him was good. We are talking abt someone who has the brightest attribute of crossing in the team by the way.
2. If CHO was bad in previous games then im not sure how u rate mount performance in all 90 mins(iinm?) of 4 game he played so far. Even in this thread ppl are being critical abt him bro. Not me..on twitter..forums etc. Everywhere.
Fact is CHO play only 10 vs Brighton in PL and 1 full game vs barnsleh.
Since u bring this argument in..im not sure how lampard fact check his analysis of using RLC too on 1st eleven. Which analysis that he refers to? To even force Mount and Kai on the flank (vs Brighton of 1st match. )
His analysis of RLC playing winger during pre seasonn then play him in the middle on 1st game. Not sure what logic is this?
P/s our pre season is horrible with only 1 game. Manager only has that 1 game to test fitness..formation etc. Not lamps fault on this. I believe liverpool manage to play atleast 3 preseason game. (+1 CS) which is why i never bring argument abt preseason. Its entirely for different purpose and with only 1 match of preparation
Ya there is practically no pre-season for us this year, even worse is that we need to integrate so many new players. I believe there still will be tinkering to find player best position on the field. KAI is good at AM with his hatrick performance and then the link up with TAMMY too, but fans demanded TIMO to play at CF, which maybe LAMPARD will give him another go. Will we consider that tinkering again ? But i still fancy a link up/holding CF like TAMMY/GIROUD, as i think TIMO is more like a poacher, run at defender type of forward which he need to receive a good long pass to unlock defender, which i dont expect to see from KANTE/KOVA. Therefore best bet is link up 1 2 play with CF.
I rate MOUNT performance as average, but i would say again he bring energize and pressing to the team. In order for formation/tactic that play high on the pitch, pressing is very important. And to do pressing correctly u have to all player do it together, means if opponent have the ball, u have to have at least 3 ppl pressing it, 1 on the guys having the ball the other 2 press on potential receiver to cut out the pass. CHO was too lazy, if pressing was not done as a team, then is like one play monkey chasing the ball. I would even start RLC at winger if is not MOUNT, that is how bad i rate CHO.
But of course CHO did good last game, so if he start next game, i think he earn it. My point is simply, whoever perform he get to play. Actually i also dont mind BARKLEY rotate with MOUNT/KOVA, he dont dribble much and i like his direct play a lot.
