Excel in falling over in the corner when under pressure and winning free kicks. Boro particularly good at it. Struber needs to teach the lads not getting sucked into their theatrics
I would also teach the lads to let the opposition figure their own way out of the corner sometimes. Ritz with a blatant push in the first half and Styles just needed to stand behind him then and not use his arms.
Yeah, Styles had no need to be so tight in that instance. McNair had clearly made the last touch. Just stand off of him until he tried to play the ball away. Worst case scenario, we win a throw in.
Just read it again and you did mean that. We're on the same page. Styles was being over eager. But Ritz just gave him a shove!
We allow them to do it by getting too tight, they chuck themselves to the floor and win a free kick. Like you say, let them try and play it out, it’s so obvious!
You've done the hard work by pressing them in to the corner. Let them figure out where they go rather than the easy option of chucking themselves on the floor.
