Kyle's form this season has been a little inconsistent, but the last few games he has been immense and when he is on his A game is one of the best RB's in the League
Kyle's been good the last few games, no question about it. But there is one thing he does that is absolutely winding me up. He always — but always — has to take one touch on the ball this season before he puts a cross in. Even when it's been rolled gently out to him from the likes of Bernardo. If you do that, you allow the opposing defence that extra second to set up for the angle. Last season he would whip a first time ball in, obviously when he was in a position to, and it was simply much more likely to wrong foot the opposing centre backs. It's starting to remind me of Jesus Navas, although Navas's crosses were blocked as often as not (which is even worse).
He has gotten abuse for years about his crossing, this recent step of taking a touch could very well be a deliberate instruction from the staff. Gives him a extra second to control it and tbf its working, hes been hitting in some great crosses and cross field passes.Kyle's been good the last few games, no question about it.
