Did someone run statistics on how effective the laydown strategy is vs extending the wall? I still find it useless to have a player lying down on the pitch.Cedric every time Sp**s had a FK:

Hard to have statistics. When you have a player on the ground the taker will obviously not shoot low. Whether sacrificing a player that could be in the wall or marking players is impossible to judge really.Did someone run statistics on how effective the laydown strategy is vs extending the wall?

All I know is a player will seriously get injured with having his head towards goal and have a low shot hit back of his head. It’s stupidDid someone run statistics on how effective the laydown strategy is vs extending the wall? I still find it useless to have a player lying down on the pitch.
From Reddit;
Didn’t even think about possible injury; now it seems twice as dumb.All I know is a player will seriously get injured with having his head towards goal and have a low shot hit back of his head. It’s stupid
I would get it if they had their face facing the ball. But their face is facing the goal and the back of the head is soft. One well placed shot on an unsuspecting player will be really ugly. Just amazing so many in people haven’t thought about that.Didn’t even think about possible injury; now it seems twice as dumb.
Also with someone lying on the ground the wall tends to jump. If the ball was to hit one of the jumpers the impact could push that player back abit and they could be landing on the player on the ground again further risking chance of injury.I would get it if they had their face facing the ball.

I dont think there is logic to it. i think its just teams copying each other.Also with someone lying on the ground the wall tends to jump.

Its funny how one team did it and now all the teams seem to do it. Almost like a trend. Definstely stupid if you ask me but there must be some logic to back it up.
What a stunning trophy!
Arteta's done it again, hasn't he? @say yes
We got an European Champion (who played much there) who is 29,5 years old, who starts for the current Champions on the wrong side as a LB in WC qualifiers, for peanuts.Assist and decent overall game as Portugal draw 2-2 with Serbia. Much better on the night than Cancelo who had an absolute mare.
