He's a young lad and I'm sure he will only improve under Rafa, but he's just nowhere near any kind of acceptable level right now. Being unimaginative when on the ball is one thing, but if you can't cross it, keep it with you, win it back once you lose it, make a simple pass...then you have no business being on the pitch. He had a complete blunder today.

Not writing him off at all, I only want to see him improve and I'm sure he'll get better and smarter. But pboro's suggestion that he plays behind the striker is not a solution I'd go for right now.
