Versatility is often seen as a slight, but in Cameron's case- this makes him extremely valuable player. He doesn't disrupt his side at all when he is playing in these different positions.
Routledge was able to put Cameron off balance in the box at one point and get off a good cross. Other that I didn't see any other real mistakes. Cameron does like to follow his man infield. One point he came in to mark Pablo Hernandez and the left back made a run in behind him, but couldn't quite get to the ball. Late in the game he came into the center of the pitch, won the ball, couldn't complete the pass, and ended up defending on the left.
Exactly. Many players have the skill set to play other positions but often it's the mental aspect of adjusting to your role that can create a weakness to be exposed. Cameron has that mentality to not only adjust but to thrive when plugged in different spots. Goes to show you how skillful he is and just how well he reads the game. I may not always like the Pullis style but there's no doubt the man can get the best out of his plyers.
Yep, especially when you consider Stoke isn't the type of team that can afford two good internationals in every position. If he turns into a top utility player for us he'll still play loads of games and be one of the most important players in the squad.
Comment was "consistently attacked" which I first thought meant the other team had consistently attacked him and he'd stood his ground, before I realized that it probably meant Cameron was consistently involved in Stoke's attack.
Stoke City supporters giving Cameron huge amounts of love on their msg boards. http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Potters&action=display&thread=200248
