He’s becoming a very good footballer - fast, strong, good touch, good vision

Sometimes I see him and think “wow what a pass”

His weakness has always been scoring - freeze/panic/the yips have seemed to affect him in front of goal - just when he needs his skill and coolness most, it seems to desert him

I am really hoping that a regular run of starts in the Champs will sort that out because if he becomes a better finisher he’d be a terrific player
