Good player but frustrating player too sometimes.
His goal return last season was good, so it’s hard to say he’s not good enough for us. I think his decision making at times is probably why he’s just a very talented player but not quite world class overall. But consistency is really what separates world class from the rest.
Also, I wish he would just put his foot through the ball sometimes when he’s finishing. So many times he’s been about 7 yards out and just rolled it to the keeper with the inside of his foot. It infuriates me at times. I know he’s not a prime Alan Shearer for finishing but I’ll never understand why players try to finish with shots moving at a snails pace.
Still I think he’s got a lot of quality but somehow seems to be become a target for some fans. He’s been a key player for us in some big games. I’d rather him be in our squad than not at this moment.
