Gilliead puts in a shift every game.
When there is no outlet ball (a VERY frequent occurrence) – he keeps the possession like no other.
His passing is measured and far away the best we have. He can trap a ball; tackles back; heads pretty well. He is the best reader of a game in the squad by a country mile.
He cares.
Do we all believe that Eisa cares even a third as much?
Under Hurst, we saw the pure quality he can bring to a side. Of all those OOC, he is the only one I am desperate to keep. He is consistently MOTM – maybe as much as 80% of the time.
A terrific player who does not deserve to be surrounded by incompetents.
