Incredible player. Being surrounded doesn't phase him at all, this is what press resistance looks like. Not to mention his tackles and interceptions. Shown good vision too. We need more like him.
He has done so much to simply stop teams completely ripping us apart in midfield. That Newcastle game was and has been the norm for far too long for this club.
He is so much better on the ball than the Carl Anka's and data analytic nerds suggested. Doesn't buckle under pressing pressure at all. He's a proper player. Endless battle and energy too. Absolutely the first name on the teamsheet now.
