Something I’ve never liked about Reid, even when he was playing better, is his complete disinterest in chasing down goalkeepers, even if he is only feet away from them and even when the ball is being passed TO them and is quite interceptable. He’s always just stood there watching when he could be putting the keeper under pressure. Contrast this with (I think?) Magennis who chased down a ball to the keeper at pace right up until the keeper cleared it away, under pressure and with just inches to go before Mag’s arrival. So many times I’ve seen situations Reid could definitely close in on the keeper - and at least force them to hurriedly pass it or put it out of play - but doesn’t seem to want to. He just watches from a safe distance until the keeper launches it where he wants it, when I’d far rather he put in an effort to frustrate this.
