He's holding the backline together isn't he? This might be the best start to the year he's had in quite some time. He almost had 2 assists today, both to Higuain. One with his chest and one with his head I think. Dost could not bring down anything against him either.
Isn't it a good sign? Everyone is complaining in here about players and coach, so if someone doesn't get mentioned after this match it seems to me a good sign.
