He was far from shite. Apart from a couple of sloppy passes which I guess was down to concentration he was really good. Created some chances and also did a good defensive job.

When I say shite, I mean it by his own standards.

Still effective, still putting good balls in, but overall nowhere near his best right now.

Yeah definitely agree that he's not at his best but consdering how the last pages have looked I wouldnt be surprised if some genius actually thought he was shite today.
 
For me he is brilliant at doing simple things very well, he is v different to Silva. When he is slightly off his game which he is at the moment it is really noticeable, as the things that he gets wrong seem straightforward.

For me, you ain't watching closely enough: his biggest problem is not doing the simple things right time after time. He is hugely talented but not hugely consistent. It's almost like some passes are too easy and so his concentration drops. There was a prime example near the end of today's game when he put a ball into touch.
 
He's a sublime crosser of the ball. I believe he had a much better game for us today than in recent weeks.
 
He takes risks, seeing things quickly and trying difficult balls, i really like it. When it pays off he's one of the most destructive players in the game, when it doesn't it looks terrible.

I feel like he needs to adapt a little when Silva isn't in the team, be a bit more controlled. Together they're brilliant though, contrasting styles but working in tandem. Our strongest team has such an amazing balance going forward.
 
Very impressive in breaking up opponents attacks today which is something that was not really a strength previously.
The Hollywood stuff in front of goal is currently missing but other than that a good day's work.
 
He's been off the boil recently for some reason.
Maybe Pep has fucked the head off him for not performing to his and Peps standards or maybe he's had his nose put out of joint with the emergence of Sane and Jesus, or he might not be fully fit.
Something's not right imo, but he'd want to start bucking his ideas up as Pep won't tolerate passengers for too long.
