Is it something he said? Naismith makes good runs and is always looking for the ball. Yet our lads seem reluctant to pass to him. The only time he gets it is when there's nobody else to pass too. Feel sorry for the lad, we keep saying give him a couple of games and see how he goes. But if he doesn't get the ball how's he going to do that. Bye the way Ossie showed yesterday he's great for one half, would use him for the second half though myself.

agree on both counts twoold, but we see the runs via camera angle which is set back a good few hundred yards from the action where it is much simpler to see those runs as opposed to on the pitch where you may or may not see the pass as blatent as it may be. I have sat in the majority of stands around goodison and you get a different interpretation of space from each one. Gwladys and the park end for example shrinks the length of the pitch which makes u think a player running at goal is about 18 yards out and start shouting shoot when he's actually 35 yards out. differently when sitting in the paddock or the family enclosure the pitch space is so vast due to sitting so close to the action that your vision can not see as much of the pitch as you would in the likes of the main stand/ top balcony/ bullens (upper and lower) The players who have an understanding about each others game may not necessarily see the run, but know they are there due to playing with that player for some time, such as pienaar and baines. the more players continue to play regularly together, the more understanding of each others game they will become. This is partially why I am looking forward to our under 18's progressing in about 5/6 years time. Quite similarly to the united team that had scholes, beckham and 2 nevilles break through into their 1st team, they had all played regularly together for some years prior to breaking into the 1st team and understood eachothers strengths.

Fair point Hutton but some of us don't have 5 to 6 years mate. Lol
