[Football] First Touch

[amexer]

Is there a player in PL that has a better first touch than Mitoma. Qf course all can trap ball but Mitoma as well as controling alway looking to move ball into attacking position

 

[Commander]

The general first touch of Premier League players these days is insanely good. But you are correct, Mitoma's is right up there amongst the best, even when he is having a poor game (by his standards).

 

[Han Solo]

Not many.

One of his best abilities, and the first touch is almost as important as the last touch.

 

[Si Gull]

Mitoma is unparalleled, imho.

My Gooner supporting mate thought he was a class above and likened taking that ball down like a feather

I haven't played Football Manager in a fair few years, but I would expect his FIrst Touch stat would be 20.

 

[TugWilson]

Touch like a watchmaker

Salah

Who remembers being taught how to “trap” the ball?

I remember when Dean Wilkins was the only Albion player I ever saw kill a cross field ball dead. In those days all the players needed two or three touches to control it. Now everyone in the squad can do it, but none as well as Mitoma who can kill it as he starts moving with it

 

[Bakero]

Definitely one of the best in the current game. All time, I'd put Mahrez as no 1. Honourable mentions for Berbatov and Bergkamp

Have discussed this before with mates, his ability to take the ball down in full flight perfectly makes him very special.
