I have to admit that Eric has grown on me in the last few games.
The thing is, it is really a horses for courses situation. As you rightly pointed out, both have their merits, and both have their downfalls. I was not for Eric playing at Dingwall, as the game on the tight pitch at Dingwall was more centred around a midfield battle, which Russell Duncan won. Eric, as we know, can't tackle a fish supper. Give him a bit of space though and he is a different beast altogether. He has also scored a couple of goals of late, his last one undoubtedly due to his speed and reactions. Dani on the other hand has struggled to score given the clear cut opportunities he has created or been offered. Some of that is down to just bad luck, some down to reaction time. He has a good touch in confined space, but is less likely to show the defenders a clean pair of heels. To be honest, we should not be pitting one against the other, but maybe to be more specific when we have to draft someone else in, like Ross, or Stratford, or Lionel. Now the first two played recently and I thought the game passed them bye. Not their fault they were asked to play but nevertheless they were like boys in amongst the men. Thats when the Odi/Sanchez line comes in. We need both of these guys, but not always at the same time. Great to have the option to swap one for the other as well.
Will I vote, well I might but there is only a right or wrong option and no middle line. Maybe Eric for just now to start, but it depends who where and when. Maybe Sanchez, but it also depends on the same parameters.
It's a tough one Chibberooney.............................I'm off to think about it.
