I don't see it with him still, I can forgive the 1v1 as the Keeper also earned his crust there, but he is far too passive in games for me.........I hope he proves me wrong, likely will, but currently, he is a mystery
 
You either bang it early, hit it when the keepe plants his feet, whack it through his legs, flip it over him like Messi or best of all, do a Glenn Hoddle and sit the keeper round with a twitch of an eyebrow and just slide past, or Gazza style take it wide passed the keeper and slot if it from the outside edge of the six yard box.

An unpracticed player would just do what the keeper forces him to do.

Our 1v1 trainer has printed just that, doesn't say a word to our strikers, just shoves that in their faces before going out on the pitch.

Occasionally he will just scream "TWITCH THE fudging EYEBROW!" from the sidelines - still the ball sometimes hit the goalie.
 
I'd agree with this. Despite my defence of the 1v1 overall been very underwhelmed with what ive seen so far...
Must say I feel the same thing :( Nothing I have seen from him justifies the hype around him. Also, despite what Florian Plettenberg said when he signed, he is definitely not a central striker. Cannot hold up the ball, not aggressive enough and does not seem to have the ruthless calm streak that good strikers have.

However he is still young and maybe a few games in his favourite left wing role will show us a different player.

I love playing teams with coaches like that. "PLAY IT TO FEET DAN, TO FEET" he screams as I calmly put myself between Dan and his only "to feet" option ready for an easy interception 😀
