I had some sympathy for Zohore before last night and perhaps I'd fallen for this narrative that he's young and raw etc etc. But having seen him close up for the first time in a while there is no excuse now, nearly a year after he was originally signed, for the fact that his manager and teammates are having to tell him where to stand in basic situations such as goal kicks and throwins.

I checked his record out and it reads as below. Surely he should not be so unaware of the basics of the game at 22 years of age and with, at the very least, 6 years professional coaching behind him. He's not a "raw" talent, unpolished diamond or any other phrase used to mask his abilities. If he can't cut it by now he's never going to be able to do so.
