Alexism - Atheoist

Of the highlights he pulled to show us how intelligent Theo's runs were:
2 were offside
2 had 15 yard first touches that took him away from goal.
1 off-balance tame shot that was never ever going to score post U16s.
1 shot too early from a terrible angle rather than driving into the box and shooting from closer, better angle, putting defenders under pressure.
To me, Theo's biggest problem is that he lacks the desire/ability to take people on 1 on 1 when there's a defender in front of him. Everything is away from the defenders (either a pass or a dribble away), and if the defender is marginally decent, that means away from the goal too. He plays way too safe and can only threaten if it's a through ball. He needs a lot more Alexis in his game.
(There is a slight chance I am not remembering things that oppose this feeling, but nah.)
