Style of Play
Myrie-Williams is generally deployed as a winger, and can play on either flank. He is predominantly left-footed, and has been used on the wing for the majority of his career. Despite being left-footed, Myrie-Williams states that he is much more comfortable on the right wing — cutting inside and getting a shot on goal. He has been described as being "blessed with searing pace and an impressive left foot", causing defenders "countless problems". Myrie-Williams believes that his strongest attribute is that he "loves running at defenders", as well as being "pretty confident with the ball at his feet" and "not being afraid to take anyone on due to his pace". He also states that he can "spot a good pass", and gets as much enjoyment assisting goals as he does scoring them. He has been described as a "direct winger" with "a habit of drifting out wide". Myrie-Williams often takes set-pieces and has been described as a "dangerous crosser of the ball".
In June 2009, former footballer turned pundit Steve Claridge stated that Myrie-Williams was "an exciting prospect" due to his style of play. He also claimed Myrie-Williams was a "priceless asset" in terms of turning defence into attack and relieving defensive pressure — "Whenever he was given time and space to run at the opposition he looked dangerous and comfortable with the ball at his feet. This appears to be a side to his game that comes naturally. As the match became stretched he quickly turned defence into attack with lung-bursting 50–yard runs". Claridge did, however, believe that Myrie-Williams often tried to complicate matters too much and needed to work on "simplifying his game" in order to be able to "assess the situation" better.
Myrie-Williams believes that he needs to work on his heading ability, and despite actively trying to improve it, he states that it still "needs a bit of work". He also states that managers often tell him he needs to track back more and do more defensive work in matches — in-turn offering more protection to the full back.

“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.”
—Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
