Go wide, cross

I think most will agree this has been our modus operandi for most (all?) seasons...

is this:

a) the best way to go

b) silly

c) our only option with the players at hand?

It frustrates the hell out of me, but obviously when we score from it all is forgiven...

This isn't a bitch post, I'm genuinely interested in what people think.

lock in b

you could say c because we have wide players but they cant cross so wouldnt say that a good idea, with sanchez and ifill i think a 4-1-2-2-1 could be a good way to go

It's fine as long as it's not our ONLY tactic, which it is.

I prefer one on each side, and a huge penis in the middle.

I was thinking this was a thread about Hard News.

Don't think he can go much wider...

Well I usually start by putting my card into the little slot provided at the ATM. It then prompts me for a PIN. Only after that will 4-1-2-2-1 work...

They cant do a lot of things, which is why they're in the A-League.

So when other A-Leagues do it, it's simply an aberration?

Still proffessional players and should be able to do the basics.Pass,shoot, chip and cross.
Some of our players would struggle to cross the road.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

it does work ive seen it work and not just in computer games

sure it can leave you exposed down the flanks if you come up against a good wide side, but that is why you have more than one system so can change things up when needed
