Hes really fecking amazing. Love his energy and tenacity. His tacking has improved greatly and these days he does not slide in recklessly like he did in his early days. He still has the appetite for the full blooded challenge, hes just learned to use it wisely.
And offensively, he was one of our best players today. I'd say he skinned Bale more times than the other way. He dealt reasonably well with Bale too, Bale did go outside with his pace a couple of times to put in crosses, but Rafael didn't really get done by him.
very exciting player, and yes, Dean's a cnut for sending him off.
