so, he stands shirt tight to him and what happens??? with his lack of pace, the winger will get round the back of him and the ball gets put in the great big hole between him and our centre halves....that to me is knowing his strengths....with none of our back line being the quickest(Jerel has the pace but not the greatest reader of the game) the last place you want the ball being played is in behind you...I really do despair sometimes that a consistent 6.5 out of 10 player like JS gets slated, yet folk wank over JPM
What a load of bollocks its easy enough playing a yard off which most full backs would do against a quick winger but he does it against every player he is playing even the slow ones. Plus when you play a yard off your supposed to still stop them getting the ball in which he never does. You look at how many goals this season that have come from Jack Smith's side or when he has been directly at fault. Today we had a much more solid look to us and a big part of that was down to Ifil and Jack Smith not playing.
