Quote ="Charlie Sheen"Watching it again, I think he misread the bounce. Usually when a player chips over the top they put back spin on it so the ball bounces at a more catchable height for the chasers. The ball skipped on, though and Grix was left flat footed. He could've done more, definitely, but it was a wonderful piece of skill from McGuire, especially so close to the touchline.'"
Yeah but why let it bounce? He has time to clear the ball into touch. He stops and waits for the ball. That is criminal, at this level you deal with the threat. The ball is the threat and he doesn't deal with it. If he knocks the ball into touch he takes the bounce out of the equation. You're right it was a great piece of skill and shows why Leeds win trophies because they have players who can execute, but Grix needs to deal with that better than he does.
If this was the first time and or he was a young player it would be forgivable but this is the 3rd time in the last 4 games that he has made the same mistakes. He cannot deal with a kick that gives him a decision other than "stand undert the ball and catch".
