Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3379369, member: 8215"] On Oates, I love the way he positions himself for the attacking high ball. Most of the defenders don't watch where the ball is going, they watch where the attacker is running and put bodies in the way to prevent a path. So Oates initially runs to a few metres wider than where the kick will land and then angles in as it's coming down. It also helps the catch - running straight to the spot means the ball is effectively coming from up and behind you, whereas getting outside it and angling in means it's coming more from the side.
