last saterday, Dave Bassett was the commentator on the radio for the leicester match. After about ten minutes of connely on the pitch bassett is shocked to realise connelly is only recieving lobs i.e. high ball from his team mates, not the kind of service he can act on, especially when he is being marked by a 6'3" defender.
Connelly is small, fast and quick to change direction (No Dickov, I agree) and he should be recieving low through balls that he can turn and chase.
Bassetts comment on the raidio raises two questions.
Why the hell has it taken David Bassett (The director of Football) this long to realise that connelly is not recieving the service he needs.
Why the hell has ma allowed the squad to continue playing without giving connelly the service he needs to score.
Dont blame connelly, It is the managers job to make sure the team play to their strengths and connelly's strength is not out jumping a 6'3" defender to get to a header.
Like all the problems at city they are basic school boy tactics that any manager should be able to sort out, Problem is the three stooges have not got a clue and the booard dont seam to have the balls to act.
GET MA and his croonies away from my club now.
