I keep harping on to friends that my favourite form of attacking play is to see wingers both right and left taking on their full back and getting to what I refer to as.......The 'Magic Spot'.... which is about 8 yards from the opponents goal post going out to the corner flag. From here the winger can cut the ball back towards the penalty spot thus causing mayhem for the opposing goal keeper and centre backs. When we have had classy wingers in the past with the speed and skill to do this I have been in raptures!
These days we never seem able to get the ball into this position..........
Its what Stanley Matthews used to do.......Simple!
It should be our No 1 priority IMHO !!!!
