Don't think he was as bad as some people are saying. Thought that in terms of work off the ball and movement, he had his best game for us so far. It was in possession that he, in my opinion, kept making bad decisions.
There was a moment in the first half, on the left, where Wijnaldum had the ball and passed it to Keita. Wijnaldum ran inside, centrally, to make space for Keita, but rather than either playing it to Robertson or moving into space, he tried to play it forward too quickly, to Wijnaldum who was surrounded by three or four Leicester players.
The one time he did drive forward, played "instinctively" and set up the one-two to get into the box, we immediately looked dangerous.
He'll get plenty more opportunities to improve and prove himself. As Fatkopite said, people bigged him up so much prior to him arriving, that people are now desperate to be proven right about him. He looks a good player, it just so happens that we're in the middle of a title race and can't afford "passengers". Still has plenty of time. He is only little over half a year in a what, five-year contract?
