Padoin is a very different type of player than he is given credit for. He's the kind of player you bring on as one who gives strength in numbers when you have leaders on the pitch. He's the kind of player you use as a safe option when there are tired legs on the pitch. He is however, not the kind of player you throw into the most focal position on the pitch to pull strings for the team, because while he may have the work ethic and integrity to at least try, he is well out of his depth for that.
