Even the best coaches at times overthink their tactics and end up disrupting a system that is working just fine. The past two games are an example of that, and if the trend continues Barbara is going to struggle for goals. The coach is trying to balance the team's clear dependency on Barbara for goals by spreading the lines of attack around the pitch. This would have worked if other players were as good as Barbara in attacking the defensive lines. Otherwise this tactic is negating the team's best route to goal which is directly transitioning their play to spaces that Barbara is running into. She is clearly the best player on the pitch and draws a lot of defenders and creates spaces for other players to exploit. Why not direct the lines of attack towards her and allow her to disrupt the defensive lines. Defenders are terrified of her. You can clearly see how they scramble to organize their defensive lines when she's on the ball. Compare that to how organized and compact there defensive lines become when the Prides are spreading their attacks around the pitch. There is no shame in playing to the strengths of your best player. A lot of teams that win trophies always do that.
I agree. Barcelona did just that at their peak. They made maximum use of Mercy. It's his fault. If the coach wants to be big headed, BB is a superstar. Her agent can easily get her a big side in Europe. We shouldn't forget that other big sides in Europe had shown interest in her. Even just on the box, the coach wants her to provide more assists, yet her team mates just waste those chances.
Most of these players are not sharp at goal. Banda is a top scoring machine in that team she needs to be feed, how do they fail to score all those chances.
Barbra should not play a false 9 she needs to be fed for the pride to gain reasonable points she is too fast for an ordinary striker to keep up with her coach thanks
I think Banda should have gone for goal shots,but Coach is the boss and knows best.. good play prides,a point is altogether not bad..., Prides all the way🇿🇲
The pride played well and next time we are winning. The pride attack was good despite not scoring but next time when we shoot, let us aim for the target and we shall Score. This time around l am proud of this pride Squad.

U right the couch is afraid of shaming other players BB understand every game and can easily score 😅

Orlando's pride coach has started getting it wrong, players like Banda know when to shoot or pass the ball. He should let her play freely..
It's was a good game good to see a number of players giving a shot at the goal. A point isn't bad . We try again
3good chances to score from BB, they just failed sure
You can't put mata as a target striker, she is good on the wings for banda to slot in.
Martha likula
Bad instructions coach for BB
Useless instructions
Clearly Banda's right to shoot must have been revoked but to pass the ball no matter the chances
We are going to be better in the next match. Its still Go Orlando Go.🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hard luck girls ,you did your best ...pride all the way

I think yete Shud be starting with banda
So many unnecessary shot
Tough game, good point
I think Banda should have gone for goal shots,but Coach is the boss and knows best.. good play prides,a point is altogether not bad...,
Prides all the way🇿🇲

This time around l am proud of this pride Squad.
The coach ordered her not to score....
Banda could have taken more shots at goal instead of passing. Maybe coach instructions.
That's my thought too
My thought too. Not quite impressed with the way they played
He wants other players to score too other than her the motive is not what you think 😅
