This is the exact reason why I'm not on the Griffiths hype train.Players like him and Onomah dominate U17,18 due to their physical strength but once the join the big leagues their flaws get exposed eaisly.Imho, I really do not believe he is mobile, enough, and actually plays flat footed. His positional sense can be suspect. Reason he stood out in his development years, was his freak stature.
Exactly, Foyth looks much more calm and composed with the ball at his feet than CCV does. The only edge that CCV has over Foyth currently is the number of matches played in the last season(and his size/stature). Furthermore, Foyth fits our style better than CCV as he is more comfortable with the ball at his feet and is a better passer. In all honesty, it will take a strong showing in the ICC for CCV to stake a place at CB in the first team.If he was really in Poch's plan we wouldn't have never gone for Foyth in the first place.
CCV starting tonight for the US v. Ireland.
Looked really shaky and had a badly mistimed challenge for a yellow. Subbed off after 60 mins. I can't see him breaking into the squad anytime soon.
CCV starting in a back-3 v. France tonight.
I think you are grossly over-rating the American attack...US have nothing going forward ?
