He lives off the smart pass. When he is not getting many, it makes him look bad. However, his workrate at times is immense and other times looks like he is not arsed for a while, but is recovering for the next set of sprints and opportunities. Looked a bit like he was not arsed in the second half, but look at the ground he covered and the INTELLIGENT RUN he made in the 83rd minute to receive the ball and slot it home, on the run, with his first touch.
THAT is a striker! Today, even though he scored the winner, it was Dzeko that overshadowed him, both with his workrate, but his break from the 6 yard box to beat two Arsenal players to the ball, bring it under control along the line, bring it inside while looking for the outlet and then being able to make the pass.......THAT is a PLAYER!Not an inspired performance by the reserve team, but, more importantly, a good scrapping performance and an excellent win that puts us into a two-legged semi final with (probably) Liverpool or ManUre, and another exciting chapter in the growth and development of OUR club!
