Pretty good. He needed some time to live in - he came starting September without preparation into a new team, league with a new language - but recently he made some real good matches. And for him the winter break with the new preparation for the second part of the season is just great. He is that what you expect him to be - a very good defensive and central midfielder who covers for the more creative players. But that is a very important position in today's match - even if there is more sparkling position.
Pace is not everything. We have that right attacking forwinger (created by an english commentator that just could not place him - attacking midfield, forward, right wing) in the team that is not very pacy, is not good in 1vs1, no dribbling star - but he leads the goal-and-assists-table in Germany, has taken part in most of Bayern's first goals this season and is the one that is responsible for Bayern finishing first in group in the CL. And that sends an Arjen Robben into a B-team...
