Peter Taylor: Wingers and full-backs working together
Winger turned manager Peter Taylor on the importance of having your wide players on the same page

But when on the same wavelength, the two can form a deadly effective double-act - just ask David Beckham and Gary Neville.
As a former wide-man himself, current Bahrain manager Peter Taylor understands the importance of forming an understanding with the player behind you.
"It's not always about the manager and coach talking to players; I think it's players talking to players," Taylor told FourFourTwo Performance.
