Look at the way his first touch always puts the ball exactly where he wants it and ready to strike.
It might be me, but he always looked as if he had time to do what he wanted. Even when he didn't have the chance to take a touch to set himself up, he knows what he's going to do and he's ready for it. A masterclass.Quote:

Rumour has it he used to practice those tight turns inside a broom cupboard.
I think it's the way he hits the ball - clean and hard every time. The goalkeepers don't get near them.

Apparently Harry arter is about the most two footed player in the league at the momentQuote:

Aden Flint would have had him in his pocket!!!!Quote:

He's very comfortable striking with either foot. But for control and dribbling he generally used his right first, so I think he's naturally right footed. May be wrong.Quote:

Dalglish played behind, like a modern day number ten - Rush would have had no problem scoring goals these days.Quote:

First line of defence, he defended from the front, hell of a workhorse.
