WILL RUUD SCORE?

“Ruud has become the complete striker, which is some
achievement when you consider what an horrific knee injury
he had to overcome a few years back. He has developed every
aspect of his game so much and he is just a fantastic player
these days.

“You also have to admire his maturity and his temperament.
He missed a really good chance against Newcastle but he
didn’t bother about it. You could almost see him thinking
‘it doesn’t matter — there will be other chances and I’ll
take the next one.

“And of course he’s right. The way he’s playing now you
wouldn’t want to back against him scoring again.”
