I've noticed he has quite a choppy technique in striking the ball, like he has to cut through the ball to direct it. That makes his square passes and crossing very deliberate and random.
Needs to work on his offensive game, but defensively he's very solid. I just love that about him. He's great for my nerves as far as letting in goals is concerned
I hope it doesn't ruin his game playing in the center, given that he's getting used to playing wide in space. His natural tendencies as a cm also definitely have a bearing on his game as LwB though, where as cm he's not required to cross the ball as is expected off him playing wide.
It's weird because whenever I've seen him play CM or LCM he looks like he has vision and can pass well from those areas. But in wide areas it goes from good to horrible from one attempt to the next.

Just bcuz he's more solid than the other sh!t we have at left wing doesn't make him a good LWB. We need to buy a proper natural one and get him back to mid, where he can really excel.
