He might need a rest to recharge. Last few games his passing has been really poor, and he’s sold himself in challenges (not today) where he’s not got the pace to recover.
The good thing is he’s a great player whose form has shaded, and we have loads of options to give him a bit of time out if required.
It would be interesting to work out if his poor games are linked to no Rodri, maybe less bravery from the midfield to take the ball so he’s trying to do too much with the ball himself.
