Ffsback has a point about a great dribblers don't necessarily makes a number 10. To me, in this day and age, a number is just what it is, a number. Pele made the number famous. Cruyff made 14 famous. Maradona chose number 10. My cautious delight about Jomal is, he appears to have the gift that tru attacking midfielders have to control the middle and create plays to win a game. I say cautious because I want to see if he can replicate his club skills on the international scene. Unfortunately we don't have time for more friendlies. Is straight into the lions den if coach was to pick him. He just has to perform or he will be just one of the many "under par" players the pro league developing.
Now on coach Hart style of coaching has a lot to do with the type of players we have. If we had Barsa type players, we know we we get a Barsa type brand. But our players not up to those standards as yet. Hart has to keep on working with these guys. We still missing the Midas touch player or players in the core selection to take us to the top. We thought Molino was one of them, but he appears to have other ideas. I am cautiously optimistic about Jomal.
