A lot of players have improved drastically under Eddie Howe, but I think he edges it in terms of where he was not too long ago to what his level is now. He's gone the furthest length.

Lately, he's risen to the occassion on several parametres; great crosses, smart passing, great tracking back and defending, aggression in his pressing game and obviously contributing with assists and goals.

We still need to see him do this more consistently over a longer period of time, but I have a lot of respect for him and the way he's improved as the team has started to perform.
