I've noticed him do this in a couple of matches, it's as if he isn't content with playing the simple pass sometimes. Even if there's a player free close to him or he could pass the ball back to a defender or Gigi, he'll look to see if someones making a run instead. The majority of times this pays off, but there's been two or three situations this season where he's mucked things up and put us in trouble.
Still wouldn't trade him for any other regista out there of course.
