I really had high hope sfor this lad but that shot had me really thinking about what was going through his head..and the answer was nothing and that's the problem with a lot of our players they are thick as pigshit
Don't ya know footballers are above average intelligence? Only shows how low the average is doesn't it. Have to agree with you that a lot of our players do seem to lack intelligence and run out of ideas quickly. There's no co-incidence when you listen to John Barnes speak about the game, or Kenny Dalglish that they're also very intelligent guys, because you need that intelligence to use the ball well. Doing drills, doing patterns wont prepare you for the unique situation of every single attack, unfortunately I think mentality and intelligence is one of the biggest problems in our side.
Another highlight is Glen Johnson, apparently a very intelligent bloke and he always has an idea on the ball, always trying something, there is without doubt a link.
With regards Alberto, I think he was a step up on Moses but wasn't as impressed as some seem to be. Think he should be starting there ahead of Victor but clearly miles behind Coutinho.
