Robbie savages expert opinion on the penatly. horrendous challenge?"It's great play from Suarez and Kuyt, and a horrendous challenge from Szczesny. However, I don't think it was a goalscoring opportunity, the ball was going out, so the referee is right not to send off Szczesny."![]()
RVP gave him a good shout out in the interview and kissed his boot for that pass. An underrated passer. He did it last week for Theo as well. As Robin said, he has the vision to see the movement and also the skill to execute the pass. If he was European, he'd have been pushed up and encouraged to play a more attacking role as seen with Gerrard and Ballack.
It's not just the highlight reel passes either, he's often good at keeping possession and making the smart pass but he's also having to curb his attack to cover gaps and other players that can't pass gas. Arteta and Ramsey especially. When under pressure, the lose the ball or play a leg breakers. Arteta especially. Even when he has time on the ball he he can play leg breakers or lose possession. Rosicky is a much neater player than both of them, but he doesn't go for high risk passes. Hardly ever attempts a cutting through ball and that's his flaw. Alex just goes for it and it's why he gets so many assists.
