ricki's long balls were played from specific areas of the pitch on an angle to specific areas of the pitch to one of 2 targets for the other 2 (always smeltz, plus whoever wasn't the initial target) to run on to
i was actually disappointed when ricki started going shorter because we didn't look dangerous any more and over time, the team lost it's way
personally, i'd call ricki's long balls 'direct' and anfony's a 'hoof'. i do not recall one of these hoofs working apart from one time in the first game when kosta hit the post
