My son played his cup match on Saturday, continuing his “comeback from the depths”. They started really well, creating good chances, but after a moment of lack of focus they conceded: poor clearance and a low cross-shot from inside the box, nothing Lizer could do. Shortly after, another setback. A high dropping ball (“with snow”), he trusted the bounce and it went over him. He reacted quickly and almost cleared it off the line, but between a teammate and an opponent it ended up in the net. From the sidelines it looked like things were going downhill… But great reaction from the team: they equalised before half-time and scored two more in the second half. A well-deserved comeback win. As for me, I played on Sunday… tough one. A 3-0 loss against a weaker team who punished every mistake we made, while we couldn’t take any of our chances. That’s football… onto the next one!

Something I shout alot to my team mates when they have possession close to the box is "if you need" or "keeper if you need" Is this a good idea? Or just annoyance to just keep relying on the keeper for safety? Personally I believe it's good to give them more reassurance if they are marked or taking an overload to provide a safety net, no matter what's happening. But I feel as though I can sometimes annoy them because it's not always a high risk situation. What do you usually say instead/otherwise?

Just wondered - why does everyone seem to be obsessed with 'liking' something on here..? You could probably post something like; 'Sausages - food of the GK professionals' & get 20 'likes' for it. Just a thought...😐
