For one, not sure if many of the TV watchers were able to see it, but gone were the days when Bling used to just half-heartedly chase opponents. Last night he was doing full on sprints to run down and pressure opponents like I've never seen from him before. He affected at least half a dozen kicks which resulted in turnovers and our possession.
2nd Point, he was using his pace when he got the ball which I love to see. He was bursting and weaving through opponents at times which is exactly what we need him to do. Yes, his kicking did let him down at times, but there was no more indecisiveness, no more half-efforts.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a new Richard Tambling. We are going to see why he was picked so high this year.
he worked harder than most players on the ground,you need to watch more closely next time.Tango said:IMO RT is not a quality mid,
he should be played in the fwd pocket and told to chase harass and create opportunities
from what i saw last night the kid is lazy and scared, when given a rocket he pulled his finger out and tried harder but sheez the kid just doesnt work hard enough. let him earn his spot in the fwd line and get lids out of there before he rots.
brown and lids must be at HF and rotating on the ball

I'm sure he's trying but - I hate driving 3 hours to see soft performances.
