You'd think that because of how he's been used in this team. Player usage is very very important to said players ability to reach their full potential. Since he's started player he's literally only played one match the way I mention, and that causes him to try things that don't come natural to him. This then causes him to make mistakes and have people on this forum calling him over hyped and all sorts of other nonsense.
When Zidane moved to Juventus, they didn't know what to do with him. For the first few months no one was impressed as Lippi for reasons unknown to mankind was trying to turn him into a Redondo like player. He then started using him correctly and the rest as they say is history.
It makes a big difference and its the reason why some on here fail to recognise just how much potential this kid has. Thinking he's ryan giggs in the making is absurd. We should be thinking Riquelme, Zidane, Iniesta, Valderama, Valeron, Valdivia with him, instead we have a inconsistent winger who can't even decide when to cross the ball or pass.
We've developed 3 of these types of players in recent years(Morrison, Daehli, and Januzaj), signed 2 other one's(Kagawa and Anderson) before them but unfortunately none has been used that way they've all predictably failed and our midfield as a unit has suffered.
