Did extremely well, also whereas Becchio can bring down a ball Somma was able to control it inot his path and keep running with it, something Becchio isnt the greatest at.

A 2 footed striker with decent control and the ability to finish. Nothing worse for a defender to have a striker running at you that is comfortable on both feet as you are normally trying to show them onto their weaker foot so even if they get a shot in the percentages of a good strike are lessened. The Millwall defender was trying to do the same as Somma ran at him with the ball glued to the right foot but then Somma was able to shift it to his left, creating a huge amount of space, and thump it home.

Think Grella is way down the pecking order now as Somma came on ahead of him. Hopefully Grella will get the loan opportunity when Paynter is fit.
