What’s wrong with Pearce and McClean overlapping helping each other out ? midfield cutting across you know the old thing all helping each other out.
Why TF should a ball go over or down say the left be the sole job of the left back ? everyone mucks in and cover.
Fook me I remember Boycie bombing forward later in his career but someone would always drop into the space he left simply because at times he couldn’t get back.
If LR thinks our left back should tackle defend and get back then leg it upfield and put a worldy cross in for 90 minutes he needs his head wobbling.
I can tell this,
If we had a player who could do that he wouldn’t be with us long, he’d be sold in Jan for about £10million
