It was probably a small version of a tampon, very appropriate in the circumstances. It certainly stopped the flow of blood. Not sure why people get hung up about the word 'tampon'.
Yes but what's the leverage that enabled us to beat all those other clubs? Either we're a great club that knows how to look after, and progress good young players, or we've made an acceptable permanent offer. Not sure which yet.
His first touch from those long balls is prem quality tbf. Your comment about when to pass/run is spot on. He never seems to make much space for himself. When he does that he'll be devastating, because his finishing is starting to improve as well.
I like the comment about his 'disciplined defensive virtue'. I never saw tracking back as one of his qualities. Apparently Nathan J. just has to sniff harder to get Rob on board.
