11/15 is his record with us. That's 73% which is not great, but still... not to even mention your main penalty taker from the last three seasons when you mention the 6 potential penalty takers, surely means only one thing.
He’s just a slow, boring, mechanical player. Should not be captain. He’s fine as a bench option to slow the game down and maintain order. Shouldn’t be starting for a team with high aspirations (I know, I know).
For me he wasnt bad, just his usually self, the problem is the opponent. If the team park the bus we need someone who moves the ball faster, he is okay vs stronger opponents.

Came here to write what @Akshen wrote. Against stronger opponents he is very useful defensively, but against teams like Parma even old Modric would be preferable.
When you are being benched for Koop then it is time to re-evaluate your position. jj should have forced his hand to Saudi Arabia. Imagine him thinking, "I wish I took the bag" 2 games in and it starts weighing on him.
