Would love to see the stats but I counted at least 4 Jordan Pickford short kickouts/restart 2nd touches that led directly to Croatia attacks. Why do England persist with the back passing short to Pickford on kickouts? I think it’ll come back to haunt them later in the WC.
The best bit of kickout advice I could give any keeper.
⚡ Quicker kickouts
🎯 Better disguise
🧩 More short options open up
🚫 Better ability to beat the press
Take your time to get good at this — and you’ll see the difference it makes in games. Best of luck. 🤞
It’s not possible but I’d love a new rule in Gaelic coverage where they can’t cut away to a manager shot instead of showing a kickout.
Considering how important kickouts are now I do not want to see a pacing stressed out guy with airpods instead of them thanks very much.
