Bolton's tactics may or may not be sound, but I find it hard to believe that players who have been in the system for many years could play so badly so regularly. I'm not suggesting he's a good or bad coach, but something looks like it's being lost in translation. A small market correction may be in order.
Montagna would know a thing or two about defensive structures and actions, having played under Lyon.
Montagna would know as much as I do. The two examples he plucked out are similar to footage the so-called experts trot out every week for virtually every game. Unless the players repeat the error every time they are in that situation, it’s the player’s error and not a structural or coaching error.
