After the filth you said here back in Feb, you aren't welcome to post in this thread.I don't know what his state is, but he runs out there with a mentality that's a hinderance.
I don't know if it's instructions or what, but it's the same as last year under Lyon: all his possessions are at half-back and on the wing, easy marks and chips in board. it's pretty ineffectual. he's a big boy on very good money to be a forward target. it's either wasteful or they've got no faith in him.
you see him run around contests and he just tries too hard to get a kick.
which is a weird thing to say about someone whose biggest issues have been application and attitude and their dedication to their club and football.
he plays like an under 14 who's been in the back pocket, there's 10 minutes to go, and he's decided to use all his energy running around as a midfielder just chasing the ball and wanting to touch it. pure desperation. Hogan isn't making space, leading, or reading the player. he's being emotional and reactive.
the guy's single biggest footballing negative isn't really a footballing one.
but how do you give him confidence? dinky kicks off half back don't make your posture strong like kicking 3 goals 1 and setting up two more.
