Felipe - for his ability to routinely take on and beat
opposition players - and his great goal. I'm sure that one'll
be in his highlights package for the rest of his life.
Daniel was useful. He's not perfect, at times giving the
ball away - but he loses the ball precisely because he takes
on the opposing team - he's creative. And his creativity
causes trouble for the opposition - makes the opposition mark him
(often with several players), thereby creating space for his team
mates, works beautifully with Felipe, works hard on defence.
Ferrante had his best game of the year. Hadn't been sure
he was up to this level, based on his wayward passes & shots in
first few games, but if he keeps playing as he did in this game,
I'll understand what Ricki has seen in him
A man who knows his stuff. Nice to see someone posting
such an accurate appraisal of the game.
