There are 4 6ft plus arses on the 6 yard line, and only Solanke has maybe any chance of winning a header. Maddison still decides to cross into the box. This is no ange ball.
If all of us know anything about ange ball, its going to the byline and sending a low cross. There is literally so much space behind the full back. Even if its hard to beat the full back, kulu is standing still on the box. Taking on the fullback creates more space, makes the defensive line fall and puts a lot more bodies closer to the box (remember we were own goal fc?).
For some reason we were so scared of going to the byline or taking on a man.
Madders has no excuse. He isn't new. He isn't young. He would show up 1 in 3 games at Leicester, and he is doing that now.
We gotta support our players till the end, but Ange needs to have a look and drop big names if they arent performing. Hopefully the cup games are a start of that.

Biggest issue right now seems to be none of the players have been able to beat their defender 1v1 on the dribble.
Don’t know why with people like Son, Kulu, and Madders, but they just haven’t beaten their man consistently enough to pose a threat this season.
Really stagnates everything
