Wasn’t his best game today, but yet again he played in another position and we need to cut him some slack. Took his goal very well.
He's now obviously being targeted by other teams because he is made of spaghetti and it doesn’t need anything more than a draught as someone runs near him and he’s on his arse.
Given a fully fit squad, he wouldn’t be playing as much. This is doing him as much damage as it is good. He’s showing that he’s a utility player which is great, but because our manager and exec team have allowed us to go into a season with a small, ageing, injury prone squad they can’t pull him out for a breather because there’s nobody else to play.
Pep trusts him though. He always, always shows for the ball in any position under any amount of pressure. That is exactly what Pep likes.
