COACHING POINTS

Wide players – 2/6/7 and 3/8/11 – form partnerships
Wings (3/11 and 2/7) should be reading off each other, if fullback makes inside move (over line), midfielder should make overlapping move outside – holding mids provide support and switches of play
On cross – weak side outside mid covers far post, striker covers near post, attacking mid 10 takes run to penalty spot
Blue scores in counter-goals
