Why do coaches continually play players in positions
other than where they are best?
Why play Lucas Hill in midfield in a game you have to win?
Absolutely ridiculous. Surely there were other options in midfield !
This was an ordinary game with both sides very poor and continually
losing possession.
Why do wingers consistently just sit out wide but in deep positions?
Very few sit on the shoulders of defenders or out wide level with the defenders
so that balls can be played behind or inside defenders?
Too many wide players are happy to receive the ball out wide
In plenty of space but then need to negotiate the full back or other players
when they get the ball. It is smarter to sit higher up so you can run on to
through balls or ones over too?

Do you know how small Warrior park is? Of course wingers are going to stay on the touchline

Read my comments very very closely.
I said ‘ stay out wide AND VERY DEEP’
Do you know what that means ?
