Got to disagree a bit

He was involved two or three times in the move that led to the goal. He did win things in the air (against taller defenders), and as for the lay-offs to players close by, those can go wrong so easily if you pass the ball at the same moment that the person you're passing to moves one way or the other. That happened more than once. When he went forward on the left (in front of me as it happened) and ended up passing the ball backwards, it was because he looked up and saw that the players in front of him were in unreachable positions, so he kept the ball.

I'm not saying he's Pele, but a lot of people seem to have assumed he's crap based on 60 minutes, where Cody gets chance after chance to run into blind alleys and foul defenders because he's lost the ball with a poor first touch. And he's only a year younger than Maric, isn't he?
