    The Heads Up FA Cup: Robin Van Persie "its easy to look good playing deep as a midfielder...

    ... its when you get forward you test yourself"

    Never thought of it that simply, but sitting back and picking passes ahead of you should be a pretty basic task for a decent midfielder. So why haven't we had one for so long?

    I would like the title edited please to say "The Heads Up FA Cup" as it has been renamed, which I forgot, for Mental Health Awareness. Cheers mods.

    You're sharp enough to delete single posts, this one's worth the moding effort.

    When you got players willing to move for you it is.

    That's why I don't particularly rate Leon britton he was just in a system that suited him 100%

    Its also about having discipline as well and making yourself available.

    Totally.

    But we haven't had one for years, yet you have people live RVP saying Ceballos looks good there but he maybe needs to test himself further forward where it is harder. Basically saying any decent player can sit back and ping balls. So why haven't we had one for years?

    he's bang on the money with that statement

    one of the reasons many top level midfielders have such a high pass rate . When i see stats for pass rate it would be interesting to break down the pass rates in the oppositions half not just passing side to side in your own half .

    I know. But we haven't seemed to have one for a while... Which is why I made the thread.

    What i think he's saying is that it's easier to play when you can see everything in front of you, he may have a point. Defending is certainly easier than attacking in my opinion.

    He was very good especially down through the channels, just think Whitts had the edge certainly from dead ball situations, penalty taking was some else.

    Jason Fowler, another who could pick a pass.

    He made reference to passing.
