Coaching Points
1) Realism: Does it mimic the real game? Game speed? Communication?
2) Attacking Runs / Finish: Do attackers curve their runs? IE, lose defenders BEFORE attacking the 6-yard box? Attack the right areas for their position? Finish cross 1st time? Get shots on target?
3) Quality of Crosses: Do crosses avoid the GK? Are they attack-able? Are they at pace?

2) Movement: Do players prepare to receive the pass? Does #9 get defensive pressure in the back from next player in line? Does #8 open up to create angle to play through ball? Does #7 check out / check in to receive through ball? Are they onside?
3) Realism: Does the combination look real? Does the #7 attack the open space at speed? Is the cross realistic?
