He doesn't rely on pace to get away form his man unless he plays more central as a 2nd striker but he can and will trick his way past the defender. As for can't cross!!!!!! the guy crosses deep from the line without having to angle or shape his body - he must be cripple footed or something. That tends to fool dfenders a lot because he doesn't need to be actually past them before he whips it in.
When he signed for Ipswich he was a revelation for a few weeks and various pundits including Bobby Robson were raving about him. Then something happened at Ipswich and his confidence seemed to go. It will always be a struggle from there onwards.
He'll play well for the first few weeks but after that it is up to the fans and the club to 'love' him to continue to get the best out of him.
Please boo him as often as possible and encourage him back down the 62 to us  |
Macca's comments are pretty spot-on really. He is very much a confidence player and when things were'nt going for him down here he got absolutely hammered by the crowd which he could'nt get over. We have fickle fans here at ITFC who don't give players a chance to regain their form.
I personally think it will be agood move for him to move and wish him all the best. He has been flying in pre-season with some cracking perfomances and looking sharp and fit so hopes he can carry it on wherever he goes.
