Looks impressive and exciting but he has no left foot. Playing right footed on the left wing, and EVERY time he cut inside. He will soon get found out in this league.

You think? Nobody figured out that podge would literally sit between thr 6 yard box and penalty spot…figuring it out is one thing, dealing with it is another…

Slightly different though. If you know that somebody is going to cut inside, you can stop that as a defender as long as the winger isn't significantly quicker than you. You can't stop the way Amond timed his runs so well unless you're a defender that reads the game incredibly well, which basically doesn't exist in the conference level.

Bapaga looks like he will be significantly quicker than most defenders. Plus, if all attention is on stopping him, it gives someone else an opportunity to do something brilliant.

A fifth tier winger who's not two footed?

One paced with Sousa in the front three?


Sousa looks very tricky but I don't think he looks particularly quick. It's always handy to have a player with a burst of pure speed just to stretch the opposition, Bapaga looks to have that.

Defenders knew what Arjen Robben was going to do every time he got the ball on the right when he was in the final third. Didn't stop him scoring the exact same goal 3000 times.

I'm not going to judge this lad on what he can't do on a little youtube video. Maybe if full-backs don't fall for the dummy/feint to go on the outside, he doubles up and feints to go inside. Then when they make a move to stop that, he cuts back on the outside. A lot of attacking 1v1 is reacting to the body shape/position of the defender.

Might be sensible to give him a chance before writing him off.

We now have 5/6 players who can receive a ball to feet, turn away from a tackle and run at defences. Much harder to defend against than a high ball to an isolated CF. More options in winning free kicks and corners too.
  
I hope Hurst can resist the temptation to push McAtee further forward and central thus losing his creativity. Better to mix it up and pull Central defenders apart so Sousa and Bapaga can exploit the gaps.

Looking forward to seeing how Revan is used on Saturday. His versatility was a big plus at Boston.

This was my take…I know Lionel Messi is all left foot, I know Mbappe cuts inside, I know ronaldo does a million step overs, etc etc…no girl private could stop them.

flipping boggles my mind that folk automatically look at what he might or be able to do…intercourse me. We’re in the professional games equivalent of the dog and duck league division 5…he’s not gonna be Kevin Donovan is he…

Seriously? He obviously favours it but has scored more goals with his 'weak' foot than lots of strikers do in their entire career.
