1st thing I noticed about yesterday, the decision to whip the ball in from corners.
Chambers corners dropped right into the danger zone and on a good day lady luck shines on you hence 2 goals from 2corners yesterday.
I know one thing, tippy tappy short corners are sh*t and don’t work for us so why Maloney insisted on short corners for so long is beyond me.
I say whip the f**ker in and take your chance. Chambers proved he’s the man for that. Also I’ve noticed we’ve started to move the ball faster back to front and utilising wide players.
My gripe is, one man and his dog, cat and budgie have been screaming for these changes to be made and now that Maloney has suddenly started to adopt these changes we look like a different animal.
I’d sooner lose 4-3 than 1-0 attacking front foot football than the tippy tappy out from the back and followed by a 40yard up n under and the f**kin annoying short corners.
Let’s hope that Maloney has seen that, although he prefers the Martinez possession style of football playing it out from the back trying to draw opposition players out L1 sides don’t come out they sit deep and wait.
My fear is he will slowly fall back into his old ways like he did from Birmingham to the 2 cup games.
Yesterday he must have seen that front foot move it quick less passes getting it forward suits us to a tee but I’m not sure he can stick to it
Consistenty is the key and I personally don’t think he can stick to it without falling back into his old ways
