Henry, Toni, Ashton

Very interesting watch France and Italy play big men as lone strikers for periods last night.

Henry was Ashton in a wet dream. He was brilliant last night I thought - pace, trickery, fast feet, brilliant movement, excellent in the air. Really really good. Deano needs to look at him and decide to lose a stone and work on his speed.

Toni was OK at times, espcially at hold up play, but represents what Ashton will turn into if he doesn't work on his speed - predictable, slow, easily contained, no invention, only really a threat very close to goal and relying on good deliveries from other people to get him there, rather than his own skills.
