I think it's safe to say that that was definitely his best performance in a lead shirt.
00:03
And there have been quite a few in recent weeks where he's been impressive.
00:08
The tricks, the flicks, the skills, just the confidence and the verve with which he's playing
00:14
right now is really a sight to behold.
00:16
When he's pulling out the roulettes and sending defenders sliding off the pitch,
00:22
and when he's kind of producing step-overs in the middle of the park to get away from two players,
00:30
the crowd is going to respond to that.
00:32
And the crucial thing, I think, was that there was something on the end of it,
00:36
you know, that he was helping to create chances and danger.
00:39
And he set up Anthony from his own half, didn't he?
00:42
I mean, that assist was absolutely superb.
00:44
Just got away from two men, slid the ball through, and Anthony was away to the races.
00:50
So I think you could say there's a danger of being a bit of a show pony
00:56
in that you can pull out all the backheels and the flicks,
00:58
but not actually contribute meaningfully in terms of end product.
01:02
I don't think that's going to be Routier.
01:05
I think he is going to chip in with goals and assists.
01:07
But he was just a joy to watch.
01:09
He was just enjoying himself, wasn't he, against Watford?
01:11
It was playground football at times, wasn't it?
01:15
I think Routier is a good player.
01:17
And in the Championship, he's going to be a very good player.
01:21
You know, I think he'll cause a lot of problems for defences.
01:24
His link-up plays good, his hold-up plays good.
01:26
His finishing needs to improve.
01:28
Daniel Farker wants him to be careful about when and where he pulls out the backheels.
01:35
The one I enjoyed most, I think, was the little...
01:37
He took the ball down with a kind of a backheel on the turn
01:41
and sent it direct to a team-mate, which was just ridiculous.
01:45
It was incredible.
01:47
If that doesn't come off, or if the score is 0-0,
01:49
or if Leeds are trying to get up the pitch to score a winner,
01:51
then it doesn't look so clever.
01:55
but it was fantastic in the context.
