I really don't rate this kid. The reason why he doesn't get played imo is because he's extremely unreliable. The basics of his game such as knowing when to pass, tracking back, off the ball movement and not losing the ball is almost non-existent.
To make things worse, he always tries to play for himself and not the team. You see him run into blind alleys trying to take on 2 or more defenders and also shooting from range all the time. I wouldn't really have a problem with this if he actually did have the pace and trickery to take on multiple defenders or if he actually scored from his long shots but he doesn't.
I agree he has talent as we saw that in the first half of 13/14 but he still has a long way to go. The new contract, the No.11 shirt, the media hype and the fan fare over what international team he would play for has all gotten to his head and he thinks he's better than what he is.
He can turn it around with application, hard work and listening to his coaches but I personally wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having a career playing for the likes of Fenerbache and PSV.
