.. or maybe we have different opinions on what is an acceptable level of technique for a Liverpool forward. Or you haven't met my dog All possible. Well to answer your post, I haven't been watching him regularly, no. *awaiting bitching about that* . It IS possible to get a certain feel about a player without having seen him all year around, though. Would be glad to hear more of your opinion on him, if you feel you have seen him that much. Great work rate, physical presence, goal scorer. Feel free to add..
