This week Martin Lewis has a scouting report on Stoke City. This will not only be interesting for Manchester United supporters but also Stoke City supporters before the big game on Sunday. In fact supporters of any club that are yet to play Stoke City this season will find this in-depth tactical and statistical analysis a welcome read.
You can find Martin Lewis' tactical report on Manchester United here: Manchester United Scouting Report – written last week before the Manchester Derby 2013.
N.B. Please note that this is not an article – the purpose of this report is just that for it to seem like a Scouting Report please take it in such a way.
Crouch dominate 1st ball [usually chest] then can lay off to central midfielders or fullbacks to play early diagonal crosses from deep [4 players in the box].
If Crouch flicks on the header they look to create 3v3 beyond him, with wide players moving inside and Jerome running into depth.
With inside progression from wide players, the centre backs are slow to react and allow space in front of them for long shots.
Second ball from hold up will go wide, followed by a deep diagonal cross from fullbacks (overloads in the box, 3v2 capacity).
