Hanley - Inability to Play Forward Through Lines A lot is wrong with the opening goal but what is very clear, in a back 4, Grant Hanley cannot play at this level with the ball: · Scared to Provoke a Press · Square Passes into McKenna · Midfielders then... show more

Not just the passing its his body shape when he receives a pass…its always clsrd so he can only play the way he’s facing, makes the opposition press so much easier
Look at the pass to McKenna off the freekick too... a dead ball and he kicks it into the ground and scuffs it to him. A professional footballer with international & Premier league experience
what a load of nonsense... not once in the clips you showed did Hanley do anything wrong. Granted he could maybe have done something different, but likely been told not to put Ralston under pressure early on. Topped of by blaming Hanley for McLean's error.
Ralston awaiting the pass like.
I'm happy to diss the big donkey, but most of this is nonsense. Two of the videos you highlight show how we get forward from his passes. Midfielders come deep to get the ball all the time, too. Most of the instances you showed, the only option was Ralston.
Damage of going back or parallel 9 times out of 11 inside the first 6mins to invite them on top & then that drop causing the goal 👌 That's not nonsense, it's a direct cause. All the positive forward passes were from McKennas balls on the ball & willingness to play forward and with a positive body shape
You a better coach than me, how on earth does that fat usless caveman get a game? How is Ralston and McLean playing too? I need to understand as my neruodivergent brain is going overtime on it
Tbh, from this, I can't understand Hanleys involvement. McLean is a good player but maybe race ran. Ralston was actually really good last night barring 1 moment of madness
Nice to see some actual analysis rather than should people shouting how bad players are, or blaming manager. Thanks really makes sense 👏🏻
Sit doon Pep.😂😂😂😂
![Possession vs Progression: Patience or Lack of Ideas? Is Kaizer Chiefs showing more patience on the ball, or a lack of ideas to penetrate defensive blocks? Kaizer Chiefs were more comfortable in possession and better organised against Sekhukhune than against Golden Arrows over the weekend, but the key question was whether this represented patient control or a lack of attacking invention. Chiefs kept the ball but rarely broke lines. Circulation was often safe and predictable, with few passes between the lines, limited rotations in the final third and little movement behind the defence. Possession, therefore, did not consistently translate into clear chances. This also exposed structural and personnel issues in build-up. When we build in a 4-2 and the opposition blocks passing lanes to Maboe and Ox, progression becomes difficult. The fullbacks are not consistently high, while we lack enough quality from the back to play through pressure and connect with Baartman or Ighodaro moving into the half-spaces or behind pressure. These are passes a player like Aden McCarthy used to provide more naturally, but we often resort to long balls with poor accuracy. Midfield control is another concern. Ox made more passes into the final third[14] than Maboe, despite Maboe playing as the 8. We need the 8 to be more influential in these areas, helping control the flow and connect midfield with attack. Ox was effective at winning the ball and playing forward, but that responsibility cannot fall primarily on him given his technical flaws once the expectations rise. Sekhukhune's passive press gave Chiefs comfort on the ball, but it also highlighted how dependent our possession can be on the opponent's approach. We can circulate when unpressured, but still struggle to play through a well-organised press. Ighodaro is another example: he often drops too deep to get involved, yet when he makes runs behind the defence, he is not consistently found even when the space is available..we lacked players brave enough to play "that pass". We also rely too heavily on low-probability long shots instead of getting the ball into the box for players such as Silva, Ighodaro and Duba. Final-third decision-making has to improve. We need to get our best midfielders on the ball more often and, once we reach the attacking third, consistently find our most dangerous players in positions where they can hurt the opposition. We struggled to get Phili in the game in the 1st half. The second half was an improvement on the pointless circulation of the first. Chiefs played more forward, increased the intensity a little and benefited from substitutions that brought better movement in the final third. Instead of simply passing around Sekhukhune's block, we began moving it, creating spaces from both wide and central areas and the goals followed. Having a player capable of operating between the lines also made a difference by providing a link between midfield and attack. There are clear signs of progress in the coach's positional model, particularly in our ability to retain the ball and control games for longer periods. However, possession must become more consistently penetrative. This is also a squad-balance issue. The coach has asked for 4 attacking reinforcements, and management is yet to provide them[Only Phili came and Faiz is more of a project buy than a player who comes and hits the ground running] Some of these limitations, if attended to, should improve with better attacking profiles, but the existing group must still make better decisions in the final third. The progress is there, but the next step is turning possession into progression, and progression into consistent chances. Match day 3 under coach Fernando Da Cruz...📝](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2088291540934246663/amplify_video_thumb/2088289819390595072/img/TMTxxAMDopysiESN.jpg)
