I do like Mateta, but my god his first touch is awful. The ball just bounces off him and he usually has to run after it.

I think he went to the Carlton Palmer school of ball control!

I think the only really natural goal scorers we had in my time of Watching was, Mike Elwiss, Kevin Mabbutt, Ian Wright and Andy Johnson, sadly the first two suffered career ending injuries.
