I agree he has shown amazing attacking skills, but only very occasionally has he found a pass to keep a move flowing. Connor , on the other hand is our main weapon in that regard, his vision and skill make him a must pick, but, he has weaknesses in defence also, I cannot remember which game it was last year, but he was beaten in a straight footrace by the opposition player and Shaul would have at least got to the player with his pace. I do think, on balance, that Connor is the better option but only because he can link play and distribute better, hopefully he has worked on his positional play when defending, as that can mask a lack of pace, fullbacks like Wellens were not particularly fast but their positional sense made them great defenders.
