I have to admit, that I was lukewarm on Townsend until today. My eyes were definitely opened to his potential. I am totally conflicted by the competition and whether this was just one game, but my god he was awesome today.
Remember he scored on the highest spenders in Europe this summer in under 15 minutes of play. He was a foot from scoring a beauty against Espanyol in the sub role yet again. Yes, this was certainly a step down in competition, but everything about that lad is 180 degrees from the big eyed scared puppy dog we saw play for us last fall. That dude WANTS this so bad, and I love to see a player step up when he's given a shot.
