His ability to keep the ball under pressure, to disappear in a ruck of players
& emerge on the other side with the ball was astonishing. Seen very, very few players with that level of ability.
He is slow off the mark, but I wouldn't mind betting his top speed is higher than Redmond's. He doesn't like to run around pressuring the opposition - which is something most effective PL forwards excel at - & he was at his worst when presented with a free gift 30 yards out. But what he does well - keeping possession, instant control, intelligent passing - he's one of the best I've seen. In those ways he's a class apart from all our other players.
