This is all I want to see. It’s to predictable at times, where I know he’s going to look to cut back to play a pass instead of driving forward or attacking the fullback with confidence. He has the quality…I’ve seen him do it at Charlton, but haven’t anywhere else.
Those nice crosses he made, were great…but they were sent with no name on it.
Everyone is praising his “unselfishness” but as an attacker if he truly is that…he has to have some selfishness, some grit in the final third.
I get that mentality being with the first team, but this is the B team…where he needs to stake his claim, as he hasn’t been in the squad since the World Cup.
The same way you’ve followed Nelson this year, is the same way I’ve watched the boy at St Johnstonne, Charlton and have caught a few Basel games. A lot of you have just followed him by getting the updates in his thread, and haven’t watched him (but go on and say you do)
Everyone keeps forgetting this was his 18th cap. Not his 9th. He’s turning 24 not 21.
So on the national team level I’m simply just expecting more, that’s all. And I’m sure JH is probably too.
And this is the bullshit that gets stated and gets some traction, as if Liam hasn’t beeeeen part of the brotherhood.
You gotta take your chances when they are given. Not every gets the opportunity, so when you do get limited minutes, or the start…show out like Tajon did.
I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s just a popular player here, and what he actually does gets overstated or undermined.
