He only keeps the ball well because it’s his only option. His brain isn’t quick enough to release it quickly or identify chances. He keeps getting fouled because he holds onto it for too long, not because he’s this Neymar-esque player they’re trying to kick out the game.
Really poor signing, we’ve had our pants pulled down paying £100mil and 300k a week. Was laughed at for suggesting Maddison or Olise were better options, especially for the price.
Nice lad but he’s maybe had 6 decent months during the treble season and that was still below what we’ve been used to from Sterling, Sane, Mahrez etc.
