I think he's a class act, turned into the perfect replacement for Barry, does everything Barry did, but better, he's often unsung in a game (like yesterday), but without him we are nowhere near as good a side, he allows our creative players to do their best, and supports the defenders well, especially down the left side where last season we were often exposed.
The worry is obviously the number of bookings already, but the one yesterday was "one for the team", not sure he could have done much else, a yard further and it would have been a penalty, or a shot at goal, so great timing really.
