Wherever that is the case, surely the best option is to play to their strngths when they have a clear weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for quoting the BBC stats though, if you were watching the game you would have seen the goal bound effort that was cleared by a Stoke defender.

I've got literally no recollection of it, even with your description. There was a shot that was deflected wide that I remember but it wasn't off the line. And every site has it as zero shots on target. I must have genuinely nodded off. 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most stats compiled during games have always been like that - a shot that is blocked by anyone other than the keeper is generally registered as a 'blocked shot' and doesn't count as a shot on target even if it was on target.

CircleSeven Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I was a bit frustrated with Harris today. Could easily beat his man but in the second half when he did he had one cross go out for a throw in and the other time he just ran the ball out of play. So, positive is at least he can sometime beat his man. Not every player can do this. Big test is can he be coached on how to just knock a simple ball at pace into the box with his left foot? If he can’t then surely play him on the right? I personally like wide players playing on their strongest foot. The cutting inside is one of those things that sounds good but doesn’t seem to come off much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's reached this stage in his career and can't put a simple cross in (off either wing) I don't think any amount of coaching is going to change anything! Just not bothered...

His delivery and decision making is Non-League standard. It’s ok having a bit of pace but his final ball is always shambolic. It’s alright Pulis fetching Rhodes off, but what on earth is any striker supposed to do when the delivery is consistently Sunday League standard. Couldn’t have put it better myself. The pace and trickery of harris and the delivery of ross wallace we would be onto a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why bother playing him down the left when everyone knows his effectiveness is poor? Also, who do you reckon is getting on the end of any cross we do put in? Stoke regularly outnumbered us 3 to 1 in their penalty area when we did get into wide areas, we have little chance of winning a cross, less chance of scoring from one and nobody with any goal threat picking up any second balls. Little to no goal threat from crosses or open play in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what i has come to - the hope that the defenders might score for us rather than us actually having any attacking threat of our own?
