I must say, I've never seen him ever attempt a header with any conviction in the box before. That header he lept up, attacked the ball and put decent power on it.  He's really playing like our main man and showing it in not only in the tackle (like mentioned earlier by someone), but in passing, dribbling, taking shots, knowing when to pass and bring others in and that very un-HBAlike header.

 

May be Giggs, but I also think its the first time I've heard Pards say "he's the best in training" which always seemed like something he'd get criticized for.

Might be turning into the player he should be. The environment he's allowed to develop and play in probably suits him, and considering the fact that he seems to have calmed down/grown up in terms of staying out of trouble/knuckle down, it's really no suprise with his unquestionable ability.

 

All the pieces are there for him to torment any defence in the world, especially now as he seems physically fit enough as well.

 

Could well be having a stormer of a season.

That's what someone (Anita) that can cross from deep can bring to a side. Whip it in early before the defenders are set and let the forwards attack it. Highlights how much Simpson (Santon's not great at it either) is holding us back. It's actually painful to watch Simpson in the final third.

One thing i've noticed is unless we are on the counter the defenders are always set, we seem very slow on the attack, although it could just be that teams are showing us more respect than i'm used to seeing.

I don't think any teams pressurised us enough to allow us to counter attack them last season. The only team that I remember doing that was West Brom, and we destroyed them.

Wigan away, and we got destroyed. :laugh:

 

Agree that we're quite laboured in the build up, don't see much one/two touch stuff.
