I would have thought that as Rhodes is the highest scorer in this league by a country mile, that we would need to do extensive homework on him. Just marking him tight and trying to shadow him out of the game might not be enough. Surely we need to look at all aspects of his game.
Can you imagine if he scores a bag full tonight, (which he is quite capable of doing) and Wilson says 'Yeah well, we knew that he was a top striker, so we didn't bother having him watched......' Paying him the respect he deserves is having him watched and looking at exactly what we need to do to nulify him.
