here's an example of just this, @mrjun

 

The stay wider inverted winger holds their width until the mezzala attracts the full back; opening up the channel between full back and centre back for the inverted winger to attack. The IW then attracts the centre back, opening up the space for the ST. 

A lovely goal. Nice and direct. 

 

perfect explanation, I see it. it does seem that the LW cuts in early (slightly above middle third) and cuts in. do you use the role 100% of the time, for 90mins? or do you vary it, with example the last 10mins of the game, you use Wide Target Man, or Winger.. to spread the RB away from his CBs ? @Smallen

great post! love your Eddie's interpretation tactic. Qn, is there a reason you're not using Winger Role for your LW ? since there's a Mezzala next to him, Winger provides natural width. @Smallen
