[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 690935, member: 71826"] Sure, he can give a decent. But he doesn't, most of the time. He might give one or two a game, the rest of the time he stands deep and shovels the ball on to someone else accompanied by any defenders which were on him. I don't care if he doesn't distribute long, neither does George Ford usually, but breaking down the defence is about continually giving pass after pass which interests the defence and gets the team moving, with the occasional killer ball mixed in. OF gives pass after pass which offer absolutely nothing, with the occasional half-decent ball mixed in. He doesn't give the good passes often enough, or spot the opportunities. It seems to me that he has made up his mind what to do before he receives the ball - so if he's decided to pass, he passes whether it's on or not. Which means, yes you get the odd pass which is the right option and looks good; but you also get a whole amount of **** shovelled down the back line. It's a real tragedy that Eastmond chose this week to be injured, because he and Ford really know how to share the distribution duties, like a real midfield. [/QUOTE]
