where's the joy Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Apart from Nigel Pearson staying on for years to come, all I want for Christmas is more of our players to have a first touch. We've been fed a diet of 'couldn't trap a medicine ball' for so long now that 'playing in Toblerone boots' is what we expect to see. Antoine intrigues me, as he has a first touch and tremendous strength on the ball, but his second touch/strike at goal often goes awry, when off his left foot. Nakhi frustrates me as his first touch often fails and diminishes his ability to get a shot away when unable to control the ball in the first place Much as I love Fam we have to move on, we will miss him defending corners but his inability to control the ball means we will always lose possession in the final third The list goes on of players who give possession away all too easily. So big Nige if you are staying good luck with the clear out, because coaching a first touch is way too hard, you will have to recruit and promote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
