I knew this would happen.
he played well, was statistically very good and should have had an assist with a lovely touch - yet because our attack was pretty much non existent people think he had a bad game
he has to be pretty much Roy of the rovers now before the geniuses on redcafe decide he’s good enough.
a midfield performance isn’t about scoring a hat trick or smashing as many Hollywood balls forward as you can.
he played some lovely passes in and around the box, he’s excellent in the right areas and gets out of most pressing situations.
people say he hasn’t got a passing range, the fact is he just prefers to do a shorter 10-20 yard pass instead of the long switch. There’s nothing wrong with that as it helps us retain possession,
We over turn the ball way too much with long balls.
defensively he had the most actions on the pitch, passing was over 90%, how can that be claimed as a bad performance?
