That was such a wonderful pass , everyone thought it was going to Henderson, the subterfuge with the eyes was just genius, it threw their entire defence. His pass to Sturridge for his 2nd goal was equally brilliant, lofted just enough to evade the defender and with a hint of backspin thrown in too. Glorious to watch!

Well put Pabs. Love watching the genius that is Phil!!

Let's throw this in here one more time. The date on this purports to be 2005 - which would make him 12. TWELVE!!

Incredible isn't he. Some of the things he does on that video just make me laugh. Outrageous talent.

And we wonder why Brazilians have excellent control of the ball. Futsal teaches them technique.

Yep. At that age I was playing on full size pitches with full size goals. Aim high and you score.

Reminds me of me at that age (minus the talent).

Absolutely. Twelve ffs. His speed, awareness and control is something else.

I know it's very early days and I'm not usually one to panic , but if he carries on his early form for us then it won't be long before he's linked with a move away too.

He's class.
