I'm pretty much bang in line with the incident in WSL and thought the same but having now seen the highlights Igor was (as others have said) probably able to cover - but JPVH had to make that instinctive decision in a split-second without watching MOTD first
Collected stats used by the clubs are short, medium, long - plus things like live, deadball, throughball, cutback, progressive, basic, set piece/FK, 'key' passes.....and then direction.........and so on and so on........only the headline stuff is published hence '% completion' can be hugely...
Almost certainly, but JPVH would not have had nothing like the time to look and go through that thought process unlike us with the benefit of multiple replays etc - it was instinctive and understandable in the circumstances for me.
He shows incredible composure on the ball, and I don’t understand how the absolute UNIT he is manages to turn in tight circles so quickly and leave the oppo confused. Also not afraid to do the occasional old-fashioned row Z clearance when called for. Really beginning to rate him.
If we sign him I reckon the message to Boehly will be that the only bargaining chip he had in the Caicedo deal (Colwill) is now gone, so pay absolute top whack for him or you can do one.
