"an infuriating winger whose one, ineffective trick is to cut inside and t**t the ball qui

te hard towards the goal. In six Premier League games this season, he has had a remarkable 26 shots without scoring a single goal. He has also, rather neatly, attempted 26 crosses; four have reached a teammate.

No goals, no assists, but at least he's had his head up whilst failing to score or create any goals.

And Townsend only knew to keep his head up when he was told by Andre Villas-Boas this summer...

"In pre-season he sat down with me and went through what I needed to do to improve," he said. "I'm now putting my head up and watching more for the run of the attacker before crossing the ball. This is something I have really worked hard on with the boss."

Six Premier League games after learning this amazing new tactic and he 'must' start."
