Getting away with a poor one for me last night. Presumably because he’s the Hendo antidote for many.
Was wasteful and slow in possession I felt.
Not ready for the more defensive role in his own yet for me. Much better with Hendo / Gini alongside.
Smashing player and a vital part of squad now but defo not his finest hour in red so far......
No doubt his positioning will improve, but the way west ham players just coasted past him while he was on the wrong foot wasn't good.
I counted 3 times, but it may have been more (haven't watched the game again yet)
This goes back to my point weeks ago about why he has a "minder".
He'll get there, but he needs someone next to him at the moment.
We badly missed Henderson last night.
He gives us more control in the middle, and allows Gini/Fabinho a bit more time and space.
