Appaling stats. I agree with you that if in the first 10 minutes we don't get our passing right we are so doomed. Becasue inevitably Henry's head drops and then that's about it for the rest of the game.
Very good idea.Personally i think we should have paddy with near post flick ons, as he is rarely outjumped, and has a good enough first touch to make use of the ball if Pires scuffs another to the edge of the six yard box. That would also increase the likelehood of someone smaller but technically superior winning a second header in the box. I would also always have Freddy in or around the 6 yard box for his reaction speed and finishing.
