Coming a little later than expected is his week’s Player-Watcher thread. As per last week, we’re looking for a little more analytical discussion based on today’s performance. The aim is to focus on this player a little more than the others, watching him off the ball as well as on it.
Today's Player: Luka Modric
Reason for picking him: Stemark44 nipped in there on the last thread and asked for Luka to be the star of Player Watcher this week.
Look out for: For an ever-diminishing number of SCers doubt still remains over the physical side of Modric’s game. Look for the challenges that he wins, including the occasional header. Look for him popping up all over the pitch – where is he most effective? How exposed does he leave the left back? Which players does he link up best with?
If Modric doesn’t play, Rabbi Keane will be the focus of player watcher.
