Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe DA ones didn’t, but I saw a handful of very strong (ECNL/NPL) players playing this season. But most were not strikers and/or they are freshmen. Either way, the simple soccer mind only sees a player who scores tons on goals as elite, whereas some us recognize talent in more complex ways. But I will say this, I saw some coaches who were clueless as to how to play their best players. How your best is not playing down the spine of the field is beyond me.

It isn't rocket science and honestly, why try to play possessive soccer, build from back, and be creative through the mid-field when half your starting 11 can't connect a 10 or 15 yard push pass to the correct foot or have no first touch.
As to playing your best players down the spine, I agree, to an extent defensively and offensively, but playing your best midfielders "in the middle" may be counter-productive if the team bypasses the middle most of the game and your middies are really either 10's or 6's.
