I love him to bits but there's one thing that he does and it drives me mad..he comes and retrieves the ball either off a defender or midfielder and then quickly one touches it backwards. I mean, I understand why he does it because the receiving teammate has a better view, but there were 2 times today where he had quite a few yards of space and if he turned he would have seen (I think it was Milner once) in absolute acres of space. I think it's maybe because he's a bit hesitant about the potential crunching English tackle coming from behind and I think he'll stop doing it more in the future but it's frustrating sometimes because he's a world-class passer.
I don't know how clear and succinct I was in describing that but does anyone know what I'm talking about?
