He's not the only Wolves player of recent times to keep try to beat players until they run into the equivalent of a brick wall or see the whites of the opponents goalie's eyes. RAN does it, Cunha does it, Neto did it, Traore did it. It isn't very effective and, worse still, leaves us vulnerable to counter attacks. Beating a player or two and then releasing the ball seems to be much more effective.
It seems that it must be encouraged by the coaching staff, as from the little I've seen on TV, Neto and Traore aren't doing it at their current clubs.
