Does anyone else notice this, like I say I think he has ability but he needs encouraging to go forward with his passes from time to time, sometimes under pressure its fine but not every time he gets the ball he's looking for the centre backs
I made a similar comment on a FB page earlier today...... apparently I need to rewatch all the matches......

Fair dues, his ball forward led to the exchange of passes that saw us fluke our first but in the main, I too get the impression that, following a good start last season, he's gone safety first and his first thought is sideway or backwards.
