In the discussion about Robbo in another thread, I came up with this idea for a neat topic. Basically, post the names of players and the ONE thing that you'd have them work on above all else based on what we've seen of their play this season.

Sutton: Not giving up big rebounds
Robinson: Keeping his shots down
Smith: Playing the ball into space (instead of trying to deke)
Edwards: Not giving up on the play until the whistle has gone.
Cunningham: Positioning when he's off the ball (yes, I think he needs to work on this more than his actual finishing)

This is more meant as a 'post your own' rather than a thread to critique other people's choices. Let's see what people think!

Cunningham - the offside rule, shooting, reading the game, interplay, heading the ball down, staying upright.

Sutton: decisiveness, if you're going to come...come...if not don't...don't go back and forth and end up in no man's land....example...when shitcago hit the bar on Saturday

Velez/Marshall: stop panicking and hoofing the ball up field and or giving Robbo what they call in rugby hospital passes. Many times they panic and pass to Robbo when he's a) marked or b) not in postion or even sometimes facing the goal

Ricketts: give it for a whole 90 minutes.

Robinson - two yard passes to already covered team mates. Makes me want to pull out my pit hairs!!!!

Maybe practicing on real grass instead of BMO? Well, maybe not before home games.
