Similar to Abdus just less experienced and more lightweight. Quite pretty technically, tries hard. No real end product but that's forgiveable because he's still very young and still has a way to go. I wouldn't be giving up on him, but I wouldn't be pinning hopes on him being the next George Best either
The kids right footed, he hasn't got a left peg, but Rosie and Walt always insisted on playing him left side. 99 times out of 99, he'd come inside and get snuffed out...FCOL play him/ try him on the right and see if he can beat a man on the outside...Which he never did in all the games I saw him...Never ever can understand why the 'coaches' can't see that, and why me never a coach in a million years can. Baffling..
Because it's normal to play left-footers on the right and right-footers on the left nowadays, as evidenced by our best recent pairing, Kamil Grosicki and Jarrod Bowen. Vaughan has great technical ability, but is knocked off the ball far too easily and that would be case whichever side he was on.
I get that...But it doesn't work with him.. Not sure about the getting 'knocked off the ball too easily' when he's never played right side which is his more natural side..Try him on the right and I'd even wager a small bet that he's far more effective and might even get to the by-line to create a few chances...Though not sure who will be available at City or who will have the ability and anticipation to knock them in!!!
Vaughan does get knocked off the ball, that's true. The question should be why is he holding onto the ball? He makes some clever runs, gets himself into a bit of space. Then what? Where's the overlapping fullback? Where's the striker dropping back to receive the ball? Where's the dynamic midfielder busting a gut to get in the box? Fact is that in the games he's played any good work on his part has been undone by the fact that he's had no options with what to do with the ball.
