Close call between Raheem and Howard Webb for MOTM.
Yep. I don't normally look back at refereeing decns. But that "self appointed superstar" really has become a pain up the arse.
On Raheem, its interesting. Even as a 16yr old, you could tell he had the potential to be really special.
At that time, he seemed to rely on pure pace, not so much on trickery or vision. And his finishing wasn't the same level as his dribbling.
Even a yr or so ago, it was a similar story. Now I'm really impressed with his balance, improved strength, actual skills and overall game. Would love to see his end product improve more.
If he can get thro more final balls and goals, then he has the potential to be a world star very soon. I think he's got the ideal master to learn from in Luis. When you think how limited Ronaldo and Bale were at 19, there's certainly grounds for optimism.
