hollydog Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 We started so full of tempo last night that you assume it was planned so I ask myself why didn’t we do this in other home games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 We do always seem to play at a higher tempo attacking the South Stand, which in most games is second half. I wonder if WBA won the toss and chose to change ends or whether it was our choice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 We chose to attack the South Stand 1st half. One of LJs sneaky tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking this stand end providing higher tempo has been said long before I became a fan in 1950, according to family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBA kicked off which means we won the toss and chose ends. FIFA are changing the rule after this season so whoever wins the toss can chose to have kick off rather than just the choice of ends as it currently is.

LJ obviously had come up with the strategy of playing Webdini in the role that Pack usually plays allowing Pack to advance further up the pitch where he dispossessed the WBA player leading to the first goal. I imagine that all the coaching staff were aware of the slick passing that the Baggies are capable of and LJ came up with a very smart game plan to counter it. I sure that when Shan saw the City line up he saw a regular 4-4-2. They wouldn’t have expected anything different and were in for a surprise. I guess the reason City haven’t adopted that style in other games is down to the opposition strengths. No doubt our next opponents had scouts at the game and being live on Sky that change of formation won’t be lost on Villa so I doubt we’ll see the same at Villa Pk on Saturday.

Only recent goals we've scored at the atyeo end I can remember are v Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have highlighted WBA like to play out from the back and are willing to take some risks doing so which we punished, commentators mentioned it wasn't the first time they've been caught out. Not every team tries to play out so the press doesn't work as more than a few will play out over the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
