Hes class isnt he J
One thing I like about him, is.....if he gives the ball out wide...he still gives the wide player an option.you watch the likes of Gerrard or Torres (after doing similar)and they just run towards the penalty area a lot of the time.And dont see when a move breaks down,cos theyre not focusing on whats going on... that then leaves the wide player isolated (yet still expect the cross) when dealing with 2 or more players
With Torres and Gerrard being our two furthest forward players, it's their job to hit the box, if they're out wide supporting, other than the winger on the opposite flank, who's gonna consistently be in the box? It's the job of the centre midfielders and fullbacks to support the wide players in our system I reckon, Torres and Gerrard need to be around the box as much as possible.
It's a very general thing to discuss anyway, where they're supposed to be depends on each game situation, for example, if Lucas and Yossi are already near the box, then the right 'decision' for that situation might be Torres providing a short option for Maxi. If he only sees Gerrard near the box, then the right 'decision' for Torres might be to lay it off quick to Maxi and get into the box quickly so that a potentially good cross is not wasted.
