The shape of him
C. Atherton is a forward and a Northern Ireland U17 international. In 24/25 that meant 29 club appearances and 1,581 minutes. A forward is judged on end product: goals, and the movement that finds space for them. The threat alone can pin defenders back.
The job
Stretch the defence and take the chances that come. Out of possession, lead the press from the front.
