“Kick it long! Knock it down! Get your head on it!” - The term target man conjures images of a style of a bygone era. But as Alex Stewart explains, when used in the right way a target man can still be utilised today.

I see, so what you’re saying is... Man United should *re-sign* Marouane Fellaini. Time to bring back the big tree.

@mashfnch30 3 года назад

Fellaini was actually integral in Mourinho developing a rudimentary strategy to beat Liverpool's intense press at Man Utd, and the other teams that have been inspired by the German game and Gegenpressing. In fact I believe his team were the first ones to articulate publically the role of longer passes to beat the press, but obviously many other coaching teams have developed the concept too. It's not a surprise that once Ole came in, Fellaini couldn't get game time and left shortly after.

Ollie Watkins seems to play that role for Aston Villa. While I feel he does a great job, it’s surprising considering his more diminutive stature

@OlieWoli 3 года назад

So is he a Kevin Davies type player?

@mashfnch30 3 года назад

I think it's something he's inherited tactically given that Wesley is more traditionally a target man so he's adapted to some of those flourishes in Smiths strategies. All you technically need to play as a target man intrinsically is a good first touch and then the mental acuity to be able to position yourself in the best place to receive the ball. It's the fact that you're near centre backs that made them big men so often. You can use your positioning awareness and off the ball movement alongside more technical skills to perform the same job, it's just harder since you have to create distance between yourself + your markers and your teammates need to be able to pick you out. It's also worth mentioning that a wide target man doesn't have to be physically imposing as much as he needs the ability to control the ball, given his closest marker is often a full-back, this means that for a player like Watkins, who has been comfortable on the wing, he can drift out wide to receive when neccessary and it comes quite naturally to him.

Can you do a video on this ?

@ayyguevara8448 3 года назад

@vta2265 3 года назад

Well, that formation still works, but the players that are classic number 10 role mold like you listed got left behind as the years went by. They were easy to man mark. Those players either had to learn to become a new type of player, like KDB, who became a dynamic central midfielder, or Kroos, a deep lying midfielder.The other option was you become more press resistant be more active in pressing and defending and be more physical, like Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount or Thomas Muller.

Much like the use of Dzeko at Roma. Playing like a combination of a target man, and a false 9, the ball will be often played to him to beat a press via a long ball. Otherwise, he will drop deep to collect the ball and start a counter attack - see the goal started from his through ball to Karsdorp against Bologna

I like how @ 3:04 the red team defender crossed it straight to the white team striker lol.

I use this technique in Fifa. Works pretty good. I am talking about Little and large duo

Best Target Ma of All Time - For Me Zlatan . That Man Has Numerous Number of Goals even Tho he Mostly Played as A Target Man. I Still think if he had stayed at Barca & Adjusted himself with the Systen , he would have won the UCL . Zlatan is tall , Strong , Finishing , kicking power , speed at that Time , Heading & those acro skills . Missed an Opportunity . He had skills too 🙌🏻. in Ajax , he was something else.

Maybe my old position (the stopper) will come back as a response to this trend.

Bundesliga has been leading the way with players like Haaland, Schick, and Weghorst reinventing the traditional target man but with speed, and good hold up play

Man I thought Inter's duo of Lautaro and Lukaku would be mentioned as that's like the best example of big and small partnership currently

@VictorLima-mv4ni 3 года назад

Of course the tall, imposing target man returns just when I sign Insigne as a false 9 in my FM save

@VidyaGamingOfficial 3 года назад

False 9 still works in today's game, in my last save I use 3-4-1-2 on Lazio and bought a second supporting striker to help Immobile as a more classic Target Man

@Ddhfacetyy chelsea, juve, utd with cavani, milan with ibra, inter with lukaku, totenham with kane(he is complete striker), even lewa has those abilities among others that make him complete

@aaaaaaa4750 3 года назад

@Ddhfacetyy lewa and kane have those abilities and use them every game, giroud is playing 50% of games, and thia season tammy plays like oli a lot

@abdel.527 3 года назад

@@aaaaaaa4750 at juve it isn't morata who is acting like TM, but it's Ronaldo he's the one who's receiving the bal high up the pitch. And because he's more then an excellent header high long balls are also played towards him. Kane acts more like a false 9 with improved passing skills. Lukaku used to be a target man but at inter he plays more like a fox in the box because inter plays mostly on the counter. But he can defenitely play as TM if the put high pressure on the opponent.

@LVPictures 3 года назад

Can do why liverpool tactic of getting wingback to do crossing works even though they do not have target man / foward that are commanding in the air? (while it is not working for arsenal)

@EmotionalSupportWaterBottle 3 года назад

What Bremen does with Sargent is interesting in a macabre sort of way

A False 9 and 3 goal poachers. None of those guys are Target Men as defined in this video

@michaelscott7166 3 года назад

Grant Holt springs to mind. Quite a limited player from a technical perspective, had no pace but scored goals at every level of English Football because he could hold the ball up, was great in the air, bullied defenders physically and could finish. If you played to the strengths he did have he was devastating.
