Jesurun’s fast feet are a thing to behold!
The lad has a great first touch, giving himself time and space, feinting and jinking, to unbalance defenders. He’s so entertaining to watch.
Whilst watching him, it occurred to me just how fast-footed the rest of the team is. This side is full of nimble, energetic players who can go past the opposition and get out of tight spots defensively.
Jes is arguably the trickiest, but players like Gus, Arblaster, O’Hare, Brookes, Brewster, Burrows, Peck, McCallum… they all have very fast feet and can turn and beat players at this level.
Even the lads that make us a physically strong side, Sousa, Souttar, Moore, Gilchrist, Anel… they are all agile and can go past players in the opposing half.
Not to mention Cooper, who looks assured with the ball.
It got me thinking as to whether I could think of a Blades side who were quite as fast-footed as this team.
I remember being in awe at how slick we looked in the 3-3 game against Man United at Bramall Lane in 2019, but that team, although playing against superior opponents, had a spine of Moore in net, Jags at centre half, Norwood in the middle with Billy coming on up front, none of whom are particularly noted for being fleet-footed or going past players.
This side are clearly full of confidence and momentum, and of course they’ll face setbacks. But I just hope for entertainment’s sake that they keep this belief and speed of thought and movement. It could be a great season to watch!
