The player that I have chosen to analyse is the Manchester city and England number 1, David James. From analysing the Man city and Birmingham match I saw that James had a few troubles in various different situations. The first thing I spotted was when James took goal kicks the ball was kicked into Birmingham’s half but was lost to a Birmingham defender, this happened nearly every time. Each time James did this, Man city then had to win back possession, which was very time consuming. The next thing I witnessed was that when he went up to catch the ball from a cross he went up and more than once fumbled the ball, James didn’t look confident when collecting the ball. ... The last trouble I noticed was that he wasn’t commanding his defense, when Man city failed to clear the ball or didn’t get into the right positions for free kicks and corners, James didn’t give the advice that was needed. ... James needed to give his opinions on what he thought of the defense.
Saves
James 23/ League Average 47.21/ League Leader 129
Clean sheets
James 2/ League Average 4.41/ League Leader 12
Conceded
James 11/ League Average 19.34/ League Leader 58
Penalties
James 0/ League Average 0. ...
When James took goal kicks the ball usually ended up in the opponents possession, to ensure the percentage of goal kicks going to a Man city player increases, I suggest that James should perform co-ordination and accuracy exercises on his long kicks.
