He was absolutely terrible, the biggest trick he ever pulled was to convince people that his running is actually important to us. He runs like a headless chicken, he has no idea how to close the lines, and he is second to every play, when we don't have the ball we play like we have 2 players in midfield because he is covering 3 players because he isn't smart or disciplined enough to cover what he has to. If he just marked opposition defensive midfielder every game and forgot about any other duty we would be twice the team.
I can't believe people can watch him every week and say he is anything other than terrible without the ball. Young players play much more smarter than him, they have nothing to learn from him, it's ridiculous.
