Gorrin, like Turnbull gives himself time and options by letting the ball run across his body to open up the pitch.
He's also two-footed, so when the play is in front of him he can switch either way.
It creates fluency and means you can go more quickly from back to front front without using long balls.
It's one of my frustrations with Frear - although I like him - he has a tendency to check back rather than letting the ball run across him. He loses a yard or two and helps the defender by doing it as it invariably means he's having to go again from a standing start.
