Messi was there but his lads were on holiday, Messi could have kicked a lot
diagonal through passes to Neymar, but whenever he had the
ball and looks
up, guys were jogging sideways, a lot to shoulder for Messi..
Jack and the Ox started the game tonight along with Danny Welbeck and while our new cerntre forward had another good game
up front, it was the other two that put England in front, with Wilshere raking a beautiful long
diagonal ball which beat the Scotland defenders and allowed Chambo to deftly head it past Marshall in the Scotland goal.
We look for more
diagonal balls over the top if City defend high using the pace of Ox and Sanchez... Welbeck can keep
up with them for the cutbacks or crosses.
They had chances and couldn't convert, we had fewer and took 2 of it, Sanogo had a good game, needs a lil more run in the side, could be a great alternative to giroud, loved his
diagonal runs, which i haven't seen us do for a while, drew defenders away from our midfielders, probablythe reason ozil had a good game, i mean, Giroud loves to come in deep to get the
ball, i don't see the need for that, his link
up play is not so good, neither can he dribble, like say a suarez or sturridge, so playing to ones strenght is better atimes, just stick to what you do best!
With time and space the latter noticed El Shaarawy's run between Cacciatore and Frey, setting
up Il Faraone's second goal with a superb
diagonal ball:
While he may have completed 91 % of passes, more often looking to play it smart rather than going for the eye - catching Hollywood
balls to switch the play or ping a long
diagonal out to the corners that look impressive but rarely have the pace to open
up defences, his defensive work was less compelling.
They took
up positions between the outer centre - backs and the wing - backs and closed in from the outside, preventing the short
diagonal ball out wide.
