We havent seen them in any matches yet but I spoke to one of Leon Crouch's mates at the weekend and apparently Mayuka is brilliant at taking corners in training.

 

All IMHO of course.

 

So what, start Mayuka instead of JWP? :mcinnes:

His set plays are great but its still hard to see from open play what sort of player he is trying to be.

 

Don't get me wrong, he is a good player with great technique but he does none of the above overly well in open play: score, assist, beat a man, break forward to link up with the striker, tackle, win headers, dictate the tempo of a game.

 

Except crosses. He's good at crosses too. Which is open play.

And passing to feet very accurately further up the pitch. Also open play.

His crossing is excellent but he doesnt play out wide so rarely uses it from open play.

 

His passing to feet is good but I can't recall any particularly creative passes he has made that have directly created a goal in the last two years or so. There must be some...

Yep, good example. Great goal that one.

 

For someone with that talent we should use it more often. He should be creating numerous chances and with that technique should also be scoring more.

 

Minus the niggly/thuggy fouls he reminds me a bit of a right footed Charlie Adam in that there is clear technical ability but its finding the best way to use it within the team that is difficult.
