[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 720303, member: 71826"] That's a fair way of putting it, he's not explosive is he. Maybe that explains the lack of big smashes, in league he gets time and a run up to build up for the impact, close quarters running often needs to be a bit more explosive, hitting the tackler from almost a standstill rather than relying on momentum. I said earlier in the thread that I like the idea of him at eight because I'd like to see him running in the wider channels, thinking about it maybe this is what I'm thinking of - giving him more space to build up his pace. Maybe he needs to learn to build up the pace [B]before[/B] receiving the ball, coming round the corner at full pace? Would need better hands than he's been showing though. True, poor wording from me - he still should've held on to a couple he dropped, although the knock-on wasn't his fault. !00% with you [/QUOTE]
