WesHoolahansDefendant 0 Posted April 17, 2013 One of our players of the season for sure, has a terrific work rate and we owe him for many deliveries etc.Also, one of the first name on the score sheet for me however I have one quarrel with him as I can''t seem to get my head around what he is trying to do!?Often when he tries to beat a player, he knocks the ball beyond the defender then just clatters right through him. It happens probably for half of his runs, never seen anything like it, really strange?! Anyone else noticed this?This isn''t a moan at him, just thought it was strange!

Matt Juler 151 Posted April 17, 2013 Think he''s just trying to win a freekick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many lost chances by trying to win free kicks, winning a few ok, but usually not. Hasn''t got the pace to cause that much damage so he goes down looking for free kicks because that is the limit of his ability - and he does have a free kick - but its not great to watch him (and Holt) falling over all the time.

WesHoolahansDefendant 0 Posted April 17, 2013 The technique is so rarely going to win a free-kick because he''s clearly just charging into the defender already on his way down. It''s mental! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
