Talk about confidence affecting a player!

 

1st half he was rubbish, Dickov really shouldn't have put him in the middle as he could not stamp his authority in a key area. Once he got a bit more freedom on the left (and after the great hopeful strike) he became a different player!

 

Very happy for him and I hope the good play continues.

Couldn't believe he was the same player who scored at Anfield in the first half, thought he was dreadful, can remember thinking it was a shame there was no-one on the bench to come on for him. Different player 2nd half.

 

Was it me or did the 2nd goal seem to take about half an hour to cross the line?

Thought it was missing until it appeared in the net ! But we were to the right of the goal looking at the pitch and so couldn't see the ball's trajectory.

Its no coincidence that he's been at his worst when played out of position in centre midfield - he can't tackle and he's not a great passer of the ball.

 

BUT - play him as a forward and he's can be dangerous. He showed what he can do and hopefully it'll give him the confidence he needs to kick on from here.

 

Also, does anyone remember his decent FK's last season? Not direct shots on goal but playing the ball into the box. I'm not saying we stop Baxter from taking them but I'd let Robbie have a go at a couple.
