Supporters shield? Come on now, let's not get crazy. Let's just focus on 2nd or 3rd in west where we get some home field advantage in playoffs. Nobody in the West is winning the shield.
Dero, has to demand the ball be played to him as much as possible…. (why would I say that??) Because he needs to be conditioned to be attacking open space in front of him to make the defenders fear him running in behind them. So, they will have to give him space when they defend him in order to keep him from getting to balls into space behind them. If he lets defenders play on top of him and doesn't threaten to get in behind them, then they will deny him good touches on the ball. If he's getting the ball played to him into the gaps between defenders or from chips over the top, then defenders have to beware of him running by them onto a ball without being between him and the goal..
That's how it works in basketball too. Making a team defend outside shooting sets up the dribble drive to the hoop, and driving to the hoop makes defenders play off the shooters so the defenders can defend the dribble which takes defensive pressure off the outside shooters..
For the time being, if de Rosario is on the field , getting Alex or Nouhou to do some crosses would suit him better, he’s a big tall dude let him get in and get scrappy and dirty in the box , Alex and Nouhou can definitely provide those. Jesus can start doing some shooting too, Jesus has good cannon to put them in the back of the net
