I agree. Overall, what was pleasing was that it was a pretty mature performance too. Good decision making, really good use of the ball. The freekick for sure was shit but overall he was one of the best players on the pitch, in a very tough away game.He tired towards the end of the game and that free kick was indeed atrocious, but 80% of the match he played really well. Not like last seasons fixture in the cup where he was atrocious. I'm first to stick the boot in when he's terrible but he was very good tonight.
Misplaced all the 5 yard passes.
Anyone counted what his passing rate was?
For who?Needs to be benched.
For who?
It doesn't matter for who. He needs to be benched to keep his ego in check.For who?
We've been saying this for ages but because he comes from the academy and is English fans/pundits become biased.Cannot do anything unless he has pace in front of him. He's such a limited player.
ExactlyFor who?
That is because we were a counter attacking team under mourinho. He isnt doing anything different now that he wasn't doing then. However under Ole he has to think a bit more and work in tight spaces in our new possession orientated system so he struggles. Its why I never understood why he is rated so highly when he is one dimensional.Looked better under Mourinho. Shockingly bad under Ole.

He was nowhere near bad as some make it out. He was actually one of our better players today, he was involved in majority of chances we created today. Our midfield gave him nothing today, it's ridiculous how much we depend on his creativity up front, we literally spend entire game giving him the ball and waiting for him to do something with it.
