I do however have one critisism. When he passes the ball short he doesn't make himself available ffor an instant return pass. He is very static once he has given the ball to a coleague.
I noticed it many times last night. He had incredible control, made himself a bit of time to pass the ball whilst he was marked and then just stayed there or moved slowly.
This may be due to him only playing in defence during his career but if that could be trained into him he would play an even bigger part in any team.
What are your thoughts on it?
