Freddie Ladapo 18:53 - Mar 5 with 1392 views | LegendofthePhoenix | He got so much stick in the first few months. And I can see why, because when you watch him he doesn't appear to be blessed with fantastic pace. His shooting isn't Ted Phillips-like. He doesn't dominate aerially. He looks like he kinda meanders around. But somehow he just is unbelievably effective as a no.9. Always seems to be in the right place, doesn't get caught offside, manages to get into scoring spots in the box, is unselfish and lays the ball off really well. He's a hugely deceptive talent that helps us hold the ball up front really well, and just makes us so strong and dangerous, and now has a really good goal tally. He's becoming one of my favourite players. |  |

Freddie Ladapo on 19:03 - Mar 5 with 1326 views | Bluesky | I really like him. He covers the ground deceptively fast. Hangs on to the ball like velcro whilst holding off very physical challenges; he is strong. Doesn't dominate aerially? - check out the number of times he cleared our lines with a header against Burton yesterday. I totally agree with you that he is a deceptive talent and to top it - a thoroughly nice person. |  | |  |

The extended highlights also show how he, and Morsy, kept the ball moving in the middle before it got played out to Clarke before our first goal. A real team player probably playing his best football - that enormous grin after his goal yesterday was well deserved. |  |
