Yup, players who win you games with something that nobody else can do. A bit like Koumas and Nathan Blake, Chopra, Bothroyd and McCormack. They all had that bit of vision or a picture in their head before they received the ball. Not sure that can be coached although it can certainly be encouraged. I really like Davies, he makes his mind up quickly and tries the difficult things that other players either won't or can't do. It's got to come off for him if he stays brave and is encouraged by the coaching staff. Same with colwill, brave when he's facing opposition goal. We haven't had many like that. The closest was maybe Zohore during his purple patch.
