He was awful throughout the pre-season as well. I know pre-season only but just reaffirms the point that against teams where we need to open the defense, he does not have the guile to perform at that level. He did well for those games as those games are where, I do agree he has his uses, as we will defending a lot and he can help LB, Plus he can run up and down and provide an out ball at counter attacks.
So again, he’s not redundant is he? I don’t care about pre-season - in the actual league he’s proven to be very effective in some games with some match winning contributions. And one of his biggest attributes is that he actually attacks the ball in the box - see his goal against City, even his attempt against Hull. That’s something we lack from many of our other players. I agree he’s not the right pick in every game, but he’s done enough to get a little more credit than he’s given by a fanbase which remains incredibly fickle.
