One of our scapegoats cos he cost a lot of money ( like Benteke in that respect).
I agree that he needs to add more end product, especially goals, but the idea that he contributes nothing is bollocks.
He didnt play great yesterday but he was still heavily involved in a lot of our good play.
Eg (If I remember rightly) I think he played Can in for the shot that DeGea saved with his feet, and had that nice wee interchange with Firmino that led to the chance Hendo dragged wide.
He should have done better with that header when De Gea came out of his box, and generally yes does need to get some goals, but he's a skillful player that also works his arse off. Like most of our midfielders, he needs a mobile, goals scoring striker ahead of him - to get on the end of his passes, and to open up space for the attacking midfielders to get more chances of their own.
