Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3176445, member: 1847"] Still don't see the relevance of singling out Haas. EVERYONE in this side has plenty of issues which must be coached out. Our middle is a particular problem because our games plans are obsessed with it, turning it back inside constantly and failing to pass the ball wide and mobilising our edges and backs. Our PTB's have been competitive with every side we played. It's getting the ball out, and doing something with it, other than turning it constantly inside that's the major issue, and thus, in large part, we expect our forwards to perform miracles and, when they understandably fail with all that pressure on them, we single them out. In many cases, that is justified - standing flat and not running onto the ball. However, that is just part of that shitty game plan which is obsessed with the middle. Defence? Deficiencies here apply to almost everyone, including Haas. Singling him out is for mine, missing the point. It's a systemic problem, and Haas is a victim of that as much as anyone else. We are always defending on the back foot, everyone is moving backwards in defence, not just Haas. Yes, he has some problems, but no more or less than everyone in this side. You say "In attack ... he slows the team momentum with slow post contact metres. [B]The good teams are very fast from contact to the play the ball - post contact metres are a hindrance unless tied to a line break."[/B] Well, what's that got to do with Haas, when it's a question of, as you rightly say, the best TEAMS do something with ball after it is played. Am I missing something here? His PTB speeds are comparable, most of the time, to any forward in our oppositions. Sorry, again, this thread is meaningless. It's not Haas, it's the coaching, or rather, the lack of any quality therein. [/QUOTE]
