Player Valuation: £35m
It’s like Rugby Union, gaining territory by booting for touch with the hope of gaining possession in their half. Other teams (even crap ones) are comfortable getting possession in their own box and holding possession all the way up the pitch.He wins a lot of headers but there’s never anyone in the right place or taking a gamble to pick it up. Can’t recall a single goal we’ve scored playing that way.
it’s idiotic
He has enormous responsibility in this setup with very little reward. He’s winning headers, chasing his own knock downs and just trying to win throw ins and corners to get up the pitch. Sadly though I think they had 10 corners, we had ZERO.
Realistically he is good/excellent at everything except finishing, scuffing in miss-hits, and sniffing out tap ins in scrambles. Strange balance of abilities. Especially if you have no-one within 30 yards of him.
