What my brother thinks

Quoted from devs

That's a very low bar tbf!

When he first signed he was always bombing down the wing to good effect, thats certainly been trained out of him in the last couple of years.
When he first signed he would attack and try and go past his opposing player but now he stops and passes backwards, very Hurst safety like.

Everyone sung his praises in his first season.

Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that every mistake, every misplaced pass, every overhit cross, is jumped upon by our " great fans" The bloke was treated appallingly by a small section of the fanbase last season

Sorry but that's total balderdash. He very rarely attempted to beat his man when he first arrived. He did on occasion attempt it but never going outside to make a cross, it was always cutting in towards the centre on the few times he attempted it. the Torquay away game where he actually scored from it being most memorable (they did defend it dreadfully mind).

In that game JPP who was commenting noted that he had seen him play in the division below and how he regularly beat his man and cut back a cross but didn't seem to be doing it. I personally suspect he could do that at that level just using his pace but he isn't quite quick enough to do that at NL/L2 level combined with having really poor ball control which players at higher level pounce on and dispossess him if he attempts it. When cutting diagonally inside he was so strong it was harder for the opposing player as he could partly shield the ball.

Even the cutting inside to beat his man seemed to happen less last season, he would just pass (usually sideways or backwards).

could be that Efete will be a beneficiary of the new 'brakes off' approach by the caretaker managers

I expect Efete to turn into light Kyle Walker now

People say he is not that fast , but he is the fastest runner on Towns books.
