O’Hare is a quality player, but his 2 goal return from 37 games is shockingly bad, and 5 assists is nothing to shout about either. If Baka had those stats he’d get dogs abuse.
O’Hare has not been helped by only having Biamou up front who is too slow and immobile to trouble most defences. But we really need to look at how we can get a better return from all his ability.
Also, we arnt exactly blessed with options in the no10 position, Shipley and Allen have been tried and failed there, and Jobello’s not been available, Kastaneer and Hilssner couldn’t even make the bench, Baka is on his way out, and injuries have limited other options.
Really well written piece.
The very best footballers tend to have brilliant spacial awareness, and it's said that they can see in their mind's eye the pitch and everyone on it as if they are looking down on it.
O'Hare possesses this attribute as highlighted in the analysis.
That skill can't be coached into a player, his perceived weeknesses can either be worked on, or they will improve naturally as he gets a bit older.
Another good piece here, about top footballers generally.
