MOWBRAY GETTING TECHNICAL


We all know Jack Clarke has been electric this season, scoring nine goals so far, but Tony Mowbray thinks there is more to come and has the answer as to how he can unleash Clarke to score even more.


NO BACKLIFT

"I've talked to him about hitting with no backlift. If you think of the great Thierry Henry, there's no backlift, they almost pass, bend it into the far corner. Jack is still taking a swing at it, a lot of his shots get blocked. I want him to work on, if you can picture what I'm saying as you're dribbling you almost don't break stride and you finish without a backswing, without winding it up because defenders - and I was one - see the wind up, anticipate the shot, lunge and block. Whereas if Jack is travelling and has no backlift and just passes it into his next stride there's another goal.”


ONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON

"Hopefully we'll see that in the season coming and there'll be lots more of Jack cutting inside, threatening to shoot, another touch then without a backlift he passes it into the far corner."
