You've watched it again and you still think there's nothing wrong with the ball from Sarmiento!I was surprised by your comment, so I just watched the clip again. I'm even more surprised having done so

Shoot.The think that makes Enciso different is that its almost impossible to predict what he is going to do, most (all?) of our other players play to the system he doesn't . For some that is heresy for me it marks him out as potentially a great rather than good player.
You have no romance in your soul.He was absolutely awful yesterday and by far the worst sinner in the poor first half. The desperate, pointless shooting, the failed dribbles, the poor deciding passes (the few times he felt like pretending to be a team player). He was Crawleys best ball winner.
He was interesting in scoring a goal and quite clearly couldn't give a shit on whether that ambition hampered his teammates attempt to win the game or not.
Never becoming a starter for Brighton if he doesn't become more selfless.
I think you can argue it. There's only so much you can cut a ball back when you're running to the line. the more you try to play it back from the way you're running the more chance of a mis-hit. I'm happy to put this on the Sarmiento thread and debate.You've watched it again and you still think there's nothing wrong with the ball from Sarmiento!

I just think it's only pointless when it doesn't go in. The one in the first half wasn't far off, he's obviously scored from further out before. Enciso is the only player we've had in the PL era who actually looks convincing from rangeHe was absolutely awful yesterday and by far the worst sinner in the poor first half.

He was IN THE RIGHT PLACE, in a big space, miles from any defender. Why would he want to 'put in a sprint' in order to get himself to the WRONG PLACE, where the defender had a chance to close down his eventual shot?I think you can argue it.

What you can't argue is that Enciso is just ambling. Any sort of natural goal scorer recognises that there is a massive chance to get a goal, if only he can put in a sprint to get into the box. This in conjunction with the lack of getting back from offside positions meant I was disappointed with his performance and I admit, for the first time allowed myself to question whether the lad is a bit Marcus Rashford
I've nothing against Enciso and happy to give him the benefit that he's not match fit. I just think a manager will see this stuff and conclude others are currently more suited to a first team role
Because, if he's further forward he gets there before the defenderHe was IN THE RIGHT PLACE, in a big space, miles from any defender. Why would he want to 'put in a sprint' in order to get himself to the WRONG PLACE, where the defender had a chance to close down his eventual shot?
It was a terrible pass with all the time in the world, gave the defender every chance to get there.I was surprised by your comment, so I just watched the clip again. I'm even more surprised having done so
I'm in agreement with a lot of what you've said, although i don't agree with the 'absolute awful' part.He was absolutely awful yesterday and by far the worst sinner in the poor first half.

Yup. No fault from Julio in that situation. Poor pass and good save.It was a terrible pass with all the time in the world, gave the defender every chance to get there.
I am very surprised by your comment(s)!
Nope not any more. You have to pay good money to get access to that data.Is the data made available that shows distance players run in a game
Well, awful as in compared to what he's should do and is capable of doing.I'm in agreement with a lot of what you've said, although i don't agree with the 'absolute awful' part.
I only watched on TV admittedly, but I thought (the wonder bit of skill notwithstanding) he was undercooked, greedy and too desperate to score when a pass would have been better. I don't think he was more than 5.5 out of 10 last night. Disappointing.
Yes he does shoot a lot but how and when is less predictable but last night (and some games at end of last season) it was also about passing itShoot.
Agree with the development thing. In the game against Wolves last season just before he got injured, there was a 20 minute period at the start of the second half where he was unplayable, it was like we had prime Phil Foden in our ranks. If he can rediscover that balance he is potentially our best player, agreeI love Julio Enciso and think he's potentially our best player if he can stay fit and get a real run in the team. I think our having a half dozen quality attacking options is great news for him so he can come into and out of the starting line up, he can play 20 mins against tired legs and make an impact and play 60 mins in other games. I think he's lost a year of development which is a real shame but I think he's going to catch that up really quickly and by the end of the season he will be so good it will be impossible to see how we can keep him for next season.
At which point, I'm sure there will be offers in the region of £80m and ultimately, I imagine him going to Manchester City.
I've upset myself.
Whoosh. But he played in the second half...He was absolutely awful yesterday and by far the worst sinner in the poor first half. The desperate, pointless shooting, the failed dribbles, the poor deciding passes (the few times he felt like pretending to be a team player). He was Crawleys best ball winner.
