Yes, by backheeling through a crowd of players harder & more accurately than most
of our players can consistently shoot. He set up Jarvis superbly for his goal against WBA. He spends most of his time holding the ball up (often against 3 or 4 players) because he has bugger all support. He can control a ball instantly & flick the ball out for a wide player with the right pace & direction on the ball.
He is not perfect - he won't beat many in a foot race - but he's one of the few genuinely gifted footballers we have.
Bamford may turn out to be. But I saw nothing on Saturday that showed it - certainly not the determination to get to the bloody ball first & stick it in the net.
