That’s one hot Chich – Javier Hernandez watch

677224

On a hot spring/summer night in north west London many of us got our first sighting of Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez and it was an interesting 45 minutes for our young new striker.

It was always going to be difficult to shine when just minutes into his appearance Glen Johnson grabbed England’s 3rd of the night but despite that Hernandez looked lively.

Always looking for space and to make intelligent off the ball runs, Hernandez kept the defenders on their toes and on around the 75 minute mark he came close to grabbing a goal as he just failed to connect with a ball played across the box after Baines was skinned.

He showed good link up play with another sub Blanco but before he could have an attempt on goal England snuffed the attack out.

He also fired a shot wide past Joe Hart’s right hand post.

His cameo was not enough time to make a proper assessment but it was a decent appearance from a promising young player. He looks like he will need good service but with out wingers (as well as an improved midfield hopefully) he should get that. I just feel if he had played in the first half when Mexico looked more of a threat rather than the second we may have seen more.

6.5/7 out of 10
