Watching todays final, I watched how Liu Guoliang called time outs in both matches (XX v Mizutani, and ML's match) AS SOON AS he detected even the slightest hint of the Japanese gaining momentum, despite the fact the Chinese are clearly several levels better.
This begs the question, WHY didn't Englands coach call a time out at 9-6 with Liam leading to win yesterday? He made the same mistake against Gauzy the day before, although Liam managed to pull through that one.
Surely it is basics here - USE the time out tactically - its there for a reason - stop the opponents momentum, make them realise they are behind in a final game - and give your player some time to calm down, collect themselves, rather than playing on pure adrenalin? I am interested in hearing the members views - but personally, my opinion of the England coach is not great as a result.
