The recent backheader that Hernandez scored was a real goalscorer's goal & indicated far more actual skill at heading than big fuckers like Adebayor or Kenwyne Jones who regularly head against the bar or over from easier positions. I must admit, that made me sit up & take notice more than anything else he's done, (mostly finishes/runs which could easily be repeated by someone like Sturridge) as it indicated either he's a natural or has worked on his weaknesses to give himself an edge. Sturridge will never score a header like that as long as he lives as it would never occur to him to learn how to do it & practice it.
It's too early to say whether Hernandez is the real deal. As Slim says there are a lot of 'flash in the pan' type players. Anyone who is willing to work on his game & has natural ability & pace has a good chance though. Imo most players in the Prem could be 50% better than they are but they're a bunch of lucky, lazy, cunts. Hernandez seems like a grafter.
