Made up for the lad to get his first goal today, a brilliant run, connected by a brilliant ball from Captain fantastic and a brilliant finish
Still very much a work in progress, struggled or was nullified for a good portion of the game constantly trying the same 'Stop, wait for the attempted tackle, nick it the other way and go' trick, with their defenders reading it every time
Came short far too frequently, he's new, it will take time, when we talk about 'mixing it up' we mean and need 'mixing it up as a team and individually' Players have to mix it up and make individual movements to run in behind or come short to find space in the right moments and when the opposition aren't expecting that, and as a team all the other players have to be prepared, fully focused and brave with the ball to see and connect those runs and that movement with other players making a second run in anticipation the run of the first player will be connected
Showed he can be brilliant at No9 or LFWD or RFWD already, now needs to work on mixing it up, studying the inside out runs, outside in runs, runs in behind, short diagonal runs off the full back to off the back of the CB (especially against sides playing a back 3)
