I don't really see how this is playing very bad. Up until his injury he was playing OK, probably one of the better performers on our team (most of our players played poorly).
He had a freekick that hit the bar and a few nice dribbles. Apart from Berna (and even that's debatable), there wasn't really anyone who was playing better than him.
We expect him to consistently win us games even when the rest of the team plays badly. I suppose that confirms that he is the best player on our team.
