Complete as in - he plays every facet of the game well.
Attacking? Tick.
High balls? Tick.
Defence? Tick.
Support play? Tick.
Goalkicking? Tick.
No doubts Merritt is electrifying, but El Masri and Hayne have it all over him in more than a few of these departments.
lol your kidding arent you ???
Attacking? not overly, a winger has to be in some form attacking, but he doesnt deliver real strong attack.
High Balls ? no, very prone under the high ball. most taller and stronger wingers, always leap higher than him, and snatch the ball.
Defence ? good but not outstanding
Support Play ? wingers have to support play, otherwise they will rarely see the ball
Goalkicking ? is not mandatory, and if it is, Merritt can still Kick.
Merritt:
Attacking: God Yeah
High Balls: Does Really Well and have seen him pick the ball out of thin air when he is contesting against opposition players that are taller than him.
Defence: Sound, makes the odd mistake, but imo his is better than el masri's, pretty good under the high ball compared to El Masri who has trouble on occasions.
Support Play: Rarely, he does it all himself
Goalkicking: 2nd Stringer, will kick next week, assuming joey is dropped to PL.
El Masri is a great player because he is a specialist in one skill of the game, imo he isnt overly that great with everything else.
Merritt imo is ahead of him 4 out of the 5 sectors of the game imo, and Merritt is quite capable with the 5th skill of the game.
