I actually know what you mean. I have no idea if he plays like Townsend or not because you really can't tell from clips so I wouldn't compare the two in terms of ability on the pitch but I agree in that just based on how he looks when running that he looks similar to Townsend, I thought the same. Maybe for example if you were to look at Lennon and Sterling clips you may think they look similar as they run in a very similar fashion (with their arms and hands out to the side, lol...) but their results on the pitch are quite different.
He does run like Townsend, dunno how people can deny it. Know it’s not a flattering comparison but it’s that “I’m not really in control of the ball” thing, slightly gated, hunched over, almost always falling over, running at full pelt as the ball shifts...
Every video I’ve watched is of him knocking the ball far beyond a defender, pissing past them and being fouled. So here’s to more free kicks and penalties!
