Major Isewater Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Seems that the message from Mr Wright has got through to our players, Semenyo in particular. Oh , for those who don’t know , his advice to Antoine was to get into the box as often as possible. Thank you Ian Wright. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Or possibly he watched and learned from the Dave Wilson coaching video which I posted the other week. Football is a very simple game. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are box entries and then again there are box entries. Merely endlessly wacking the ball into the penalty area will produce a lot of box entries, but not necessarily create chances. It the same as possession stats. It’s where you have the possession, and what you do with it, that counts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s where you have the possession, and what you do with it, that counts You're both right. As the great majority of goals are scored from inside the box it is a perfectly sensible measure. But as you say you also need to look at the quality. I recall Moyes at Man Utd bragging after one game that they got in a record number of crosses. It finished 0-0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why people mocked LJ either. It's so easy to get into the box........Go down Bomb Alley, turn right into The Corridor of Uncertainty and then first left and the box is straight ahead 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRoss Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'd rather give credit to the youth set up we have who clearly are doing a great job day in, day out and Semenyo himself. Not sure Wright's suggestion 2 years ago is the reason Semenyo is starting to put away chances. Think the BP tried to credit him not so long ago but think it was just a slow media day.

Port Said Red Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 17 minutes ago, Robbored said: Any decent strikers know that getting in box as often as possible is common sense……….. Well yes, but the trend in football is for players to do more for the team, pressing and helping out in defence etc. Some strikers can do that to the detriment of their main role, especially if they are not getting on the ball, the team are not creating chances or if they are having a period of low confidence. Sometimes you need reminding of the ******* obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
