A very interesting article from Lee Dixon, speaking to BBC Sport, on how it's the little things in the game that can make a real difference. Great advice for any players or managers, and applicable to any walk of life.
It's the little things like being in position quickly from throw-ins and set pieces. The teams at the bottom seem to not take those positions that seriously and, all of a sudden, they lose the ball and are under attack.
Little things from West Brom's game against Liverpool were where a shout would have enabled a player to either leave the ball, bring it down or knock it back to the keeper.
But nothing is said and the player puts the ball out for a corner. At this level if you are giving the top teams corners and free-kicks around the box because of a lack of communication then you are asking for trouble.
