Professor Coleman did allude to the having a man on the post but that would then allow the opposition to stand in front of the goalie and not be offside.
Payet's world class at scoring from there. He runs hard and fast towards the penalty area and the opposing defenders with the express hope of being tackled. He has the skill and speed to make it difficult to defend, other than let him keep running and see if he's as accurate when shooting when him and the ball are moving.
Payet is at WHU because he seems to do it 9 times out of 10. Ryan was one of Stanley's better free kick 'experts' but, at League 2 level, it's more likely to be once out of ten.
