FlintSaidNo Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Am I the only one genuinely impressed by Bolt’s finishing? Combined with his pace you’ve gotta think he’d make a good Vardy style player, with the right midfield behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with his pace you’ve gotta think he’d make a good Vardy style player, with the right midfield behind him I didn't think he was that good, he was alright but he stood out because the majority he was playing against were a lot worse, put a league 2 defence against him and they'd play him out of the game through skill and organisation. The thing about his pace as well, in comparison to sprinters he's a very slow starter over the first 20m, his real pace comes at 30-70m when his stride length is at its maximum (something he doesn't get with a ball at his feet) players don't often get the chance to sprint 20m plus and teams would just sit deeper against him. Therefore wouldn't be any quicker than the quicker players in the league without their skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about failing to utilise his pace, bizarrely seemed to be sitting back and playing with his back to goal a lot of the time 4 minutes ago, hodge said: I didn't think he was that good, he was alright but he stood out because the majority he was playing against were a lot worse, put a league 2 defence against him and they'd play him out of the game through skill and organisation.

Yes he was against a poor defence but he also had absolutely no service from his teammates, so it kind of works both ways. Not saying he’s about to sign for Man City, but I reckon he could do a job in the lower leagues though (I doubt he’s actually that interested in being a footballer if it’s not at the top level though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organised defences wouldn't open the holes for him to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Great game, especially the first half. Not been to Old Trafford before, not as impressed as i thought i would be if im honest. Traffic horrendous after the game, i thought they would be used to dealing with 71,000 people. My view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view Old Trafford is basically just St Mary's XL. Any sort of atmosphere? How were the Rest of the World ultras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
