This has stuck out like a sore thumb since Kaku left. Our midfielders miss so many through balls that any decent central midfielder should hit. I'm not talking about pin perfect 50 yard lasers between two defenders. I mean just hitting wide open strikers who are making free runs behind the defense. This play last week by Omir is a perfect example. I hate to say it but Luqui has many similar plays this season.
this is why i feel yearwood needs to start, hes our most progressive passer that tries to hit those balls. but a big problem is in the past we've seen Amaya and Edelman hit progressive balls and that part of their game disappeared now. almost like it was coached out of them. from a prototype we've focused on signing attacking midfielders who can dribble to break lines running with the ball and that has been a mistake. You need some players like that but we dont have balance.
