He had two headers, ignoring the rest, one of which was a world class save that Smudger said he couldn't have done more with. And if Smudger said it was perfect then that's good enough for me. The other went inches wide with the 'keeper beaten. Perhaps he over-compensated a touch after the first but who knows. If either had gone in, we'd be singing his praises.
That is by far the most frustrating thing about him. He doesn't LOOK like a bad finisher. It isnt as if he routinely stumbles over or snatches at the ball. He just seems to manage to find a way to hit the post or allow the keeper to make a good save. And then sometimes he finishes like a God.
As I said earlier, this is his real problem. We don't need him to score 30 a season. We just need him to not miss 30 a season. But the rest of his game is so good that he gets into so many good scoring positions. And then finds a way to not score.
