1. Playing in formations where I was the lone forward. I'm not a hold up player at all, and I refuse to play that way. Give me a partner I can link up with. I have a deep hatred of lone striker formations, and that goes towards the professional level too. I hope the trend dies as soon as it possibly can.
2. When the referee calls you for shoulder-to-shoulder challenges when the other player falls down and is simply weaker than you are
3. My midfielders not playing me through balls on a run when I ask for it or playing it after the moment has passed. I'm not slow, I'm going to win a 1v1 speed battle with a defender in space. Give me the god damn ball.
4. Defenders being allowed to pretty much physically assault me while marking up on set pieces, but all of a sudden when I reciprocate, it's a talking to and a warning
5. Working hard and pressuring the sh*t out of the other team's backline at full pace only to realize I'm the only one running and the rest of my team is just standing there, letting all of my running go to waste as the other team just makes simple passes around me. |
