Running from pillar to post was not the better option - not just because Kane scored but you don't defend a 2 v 1 by running upanda.
The use and understanding of space is the unseen magic force in football, whether as an attacking player or a defender.

Did Koulibaly run up and down

Yeah, is hard for me to understand blaming someone which odd is against, if it is 1v1 I can blame him because the chance will be 50/50 but this scenario is 2v1 which puts the odd as 90/10, the odd is against him, so you think Foden is naive and will fail to do the necessary thing if Koulibaly "baited" as you suggested? what could be the saving grace for him is either Foden or Kane made an error, aside from that I don't think a football fan will blame any defender in a 2 against-1 situation if the goal is eventually scored.
If you, Leyqute be Foden and Popizaino is Kane, will you miss that chance? grin

Please I want an affirmative answer.

YES OR NO

In 2v1 situation the best option is to backtrack while maintaining a body angle that will enable the marker cut-off the passing lane, charging up the player with the ball in such situation is risky because a simple pass or dribble will eliminate the marker completely.

Suarez in 2013/14 still remains the greatest individual season of any premier league player, 31 goals 10 assists in an average Liverpool side despite missing the first 8 games and not playing penalties...
Ditto the season when he scored 40 goals and 16 assists in La Liga, being top scorer and top assister simultaneously...

Spanish football & their academies must keep in mind that the penetration and lethal nature of Fernando Torres, David Villa & Pedro was every bit as key to their 2008-2012 era of dominance as the numerous pass masters they had in midfield. Premier League Panel

Wow...you took the words off my mind, backtracking is the best option allowing Foden to pause a bit or try to take on Koulibali hence giving his co defender time to cover Kane.

Though there's is an exceptional situation which is if the marker is close enough to the ball carrier he can decide to hark the player down and risk a send-off when his team is leading and with few minutes left to play.

those pass masters still had iniesta a driving force in the midfield.
This current crop just sit deep and recycle football continously. Thousands of pointless passes. Pedri and gavi still has time to improve a lot. I don't even like how pedri sits too deep. Most times I think he sits deepers than foolish busquets

It’s Enrique that’s making pedri sits deeper jare

He doesn’t sit that deep at Barca

Those ones are far far ahead of this ones nah

fabregas ,iniesta ,xavi ,David Silva ,xabi Alonso

No national team might produce these type of midfielders anytime soon ,they still even have Juan mata and santi carzola

The odds are against him. Yes. But the action he took raised it from maybe 80/20 to 95/5.

What I’ve been saying since is that he should bait Foden so that he can be forced to overthink and make a mistake, and at the same time track Kane so that Foden will be forced to delay the pass and Kane himself gets into an offside position.

Now, this doesn’t mean the odds still won’t be against him. It only means that they’ll have it a little bit more difficult to score. And frankly he’d have done his best to prevent a goal.

Jumping in to mark Foden increased the odds of a goal.

I think they forgot foden is a left footer also, staying away from him give shim 2 options, a curve pass to kane(kane is faster than CSO, no doubt) or he goes for goal himself, either ways the two attackers are pro baller, arguably top 5 in d world in their respective positions

YES OR NO


As an attacker, I’m always thinking about the best and easiest route to score goals.

So, if we’re in a 2v1 and a defender commits himself to me that quickly, you bet I’m going to eliminate him by passing to the other guy. He forced me to make that decision, a decision which makes it easier for my team to score.

If he baited me whilst tracking my teammate, I’d be forced to make that decision myself. Do I want to go and score myself knowing that he will be in the path of goal? Or do I want to pass to my teammate so he could score- knowing that immediately I release the pass, na sliding tackle e go carry go meet am?

Making that decision will take me a few moments and I won’t be moving with the ball at top speed then. And I also have to act quickly because time is of essence.

An experienced attacker will delay the pass. And if the other guy is smart too, he’d spread the field. That way, he won’t be able to block the pass. And we’d have been forced to make that decision

It’s more difficult for a left footer to finish from the left side. Just like it’s more difficult for eight footers to finish from the right. Scoring from that angle is not easy.

That Foden does it often attests to his brilliance. Aaron Lennon has this skill too. So does Gareth Bale (4 goals vs Inter at LB).

Kane was positioned more centrally tho. He’s in a better position. Plus he’s the striker and he’s yet to score.

So, Foden’s thinking will likely be to pass to Kane. Or to make a dash and then square it for Kane to tap in.

Baiting Foden and making him delay his decision was the best option. It doesn’t guarantee that they won’t score but it’s their best chance of preventing the goal.
