He seems to take the dynamic out of the team. I accept he's skilful, and I've mentioned his finishing - which is excellent - but we do look a more pedestrian outfit when he plays.
Yeah I'd agree, give a him a few yards on his marker and he'll instinctively cut back and square him up - it's frustrating I know but that's the way he plays. He's technical player, he can easily take on and beat a defender off either foot and thats rare these days if only he did it more during a game. When he had a run in the team prior to his fathers demise I felt he gave us, besides the goal threat, a certain amount of control on that left flank. He's by now means the finished article but I was hoping the best was yet to come, much like Lamela.
