Quoted from DaleH


Are you really suggesting that receiving the ball on the half turn is a hard to find skill amongst pro players in the top three leagues? It amazes me that you feel that is something that is lacking in pro football. As a coach and developer of young players, this is a good habit that I have seen coached to children as young as 9, receiving the ball across their body onto the back foot on the half turn. It's not so much a difficult skill to utilise, but more of a good habit that you work with youngsters to establish, combined with scanning and movement into a space that gives them the opportunity  to open up their body in order to be able to receive on the half turn and play forwards quickly. It therefore amazes me that you feel that this basic skill/habit is something that is lacking in the top three leagues of pro football.  



Not so straightforward when the ball is drilled into your feet from 10 yards and you are being closed down. During training with a size 3/4 football with a gentle pass, most things are possible.

Your amazement seems to have clouded your ability to read and understand words. I said ‘a hard-to-find skill outside the top three leagues’. This place is a zoo sometimes.

Then I would have to disagree that it is a hard-to-find skill outside the top three leagues. I'd suggest it is a commonly found skill.

Not seen many in a town shirt use it as effectively as McAtee this season. Get it, one touch & he’s away or able to switch play quickly. Great player. £1.5mil.

If Everton want £50m for Richarlison then McAtee must be worth at least the same. Most overrated player in The Premier League in my eyes.
