I don’t get why when you must know you aren’t impacting the game at all, you wouldn’t just run hard. Try and close down hard and win a throw high up the pitch. Make an interception. Turn a couple of blind alleys into a foot race with the full back, might win a corner. If the talent is really there, he looks really confused. Gets the ball and it’s like he knows he is supposed to do something great, everyone is watching, but the defender is well set, a double team is coming over too, they aren’t falling for the old waggled foot trick, hmmmm. Pass it back to Jimmy.
Need to get him the ball when he is already moving for me. That’s when he can sway past people. Isn’t going to put a static defender on their arse with trickery.
I don’t like that I can’t remember
Moyes saying anything good about him. Just drop something in to an answer in a presser about him developing well in training. Say we really wanted him and were pleased to get him, anything. Not just because he’s young and seemingly a little fragile. Need to build a bit of arrogance in him so he is compelled to show what he can do. Can’t see him doing an
Aznou and playing angry to prove a point and stake a claim. Need a different approach to try and salvage things.
