Didn't see any of the game, so thanks for that. A few things that stand out from that though cos I'll be honest - I know fuck all about this kid and have never seen him play.
- See how tall he is when he receives the ball? That's a nice thing. He's up high on his feet and isn't concerned about crouching down to ensure a solid first touch. You see shit footballers half-crouched over when he ball's coming to them, they're so concerned about making sure their touch is good they compensate by setting the body up to ensure they've got everything behind the ball. This kid is upright, and looking around. Fire it at me, I'll trap it however it comes to me and I'll already be off and going. Little things like that seperate good players from average ones. Watch how Danny Ings receives the ball - it's not like this kid. Seriously, next time you're watching football have a look at the body positioning and the 'height' a player stands at when the ballthings.
