He actually had me on my knees in the middle of the living room floor at one point, screaming at him, I think it was when he didn't get his head up to see Idah completely unmarked bursting forward on the far side. He really does get into some great positions, but too often is looking for contact to fall over and win a free, rather than actually trying to progress the play and either score or create something. I'm sure it's partly down to not playing regularly, similarly I think Idah gets better the more regularly he plays.
With Connolly, I'm sure there's a confidence issue with his finishing at the moment too, he's missed a few really good chances for club and country and that's a bit of a monkey on his back now. There was some interesting stats on the whoscored link posted earlier regarding touches and passes, Idah attempted 20 passes to Connolly's 9 off the same amount of touches (34). I think it probably shows Connolly has a little bit of tunnel vision on the ball (although to be fair to him he also was the one with the most shots and had 8 touches in the penalty area compared to Idah's 1 and 2 on the edge). No doubt Connolly was the bigger goal scoring threat, and if he starts to covert chances he could be phenomenal.
