If REECE drag a fullback to mark him that is a correct play already, that leave space for wide forward to go into the box and get the attention of opponent CB to free up the striker. If u see all REECE crosses, he does not like run to byline and cross, his good cross are mostly early cross with power and slight curve. Just like LIV and MANC play, their winger does not stay wide at opponent box. Else it will back to same old 1 CF in the box vs all the defender.
It not just because of MOUNT workrate that CHO is bench, u did see him start the game before yesterday right ?. How does CHO perform ? another fans here give him a review of 4/10 in a game we dominated and trash our opponent. TAMMY started on the same game and i believe his performance earn him yesterday start. Yes CHO performance was good yesterday, he should get the chance to start next one. Whoever that is perform should start, else is just wasting space.
Yes, agree MOUNT play better at AM, more space for him to roam. About the anak emas, to be fair to LAMPARD, like for like for MOUNT replacement i can only see BARKLEY, not KOVA not RLC, they both does not play as aggressive. LAMPARD even played RLC at winger in the pre-season instead of CHO.
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
