I think that was what happened on Saturday with the Mac tracking back. Unfortunately, Sammy-baby chose the wrong option out of the 73 other options available to him. Eg, keeper....or, many points of the compass into the stands......
My grandson plays a great standard of U-? level. But, last time I watched him, I had to remind of something that was drilled in to me as a kid..... NEVER play the ball across the front of an opposing player, wherever you are on the pitch.
If a professional player does not know that by the time they are getting paid to go on the pitch, then...... You cannot blame that on the manager. Otherwise, the first 23 coaching sessions when a new manager arrives will be focused on making everyone understand that the round thing that the opposition kick is a "FOOT-BALL". Duhhhh!
Respect to the previous poster, and this is not an attack on their post. Just additional support for their argument.
The instruction from our coach is to boot the ball forward into the box at the earliest opportunity and not to pass it square .
