In a game like today (well, first half especially), where we were in complete control--high pressure winning the ball back instantly after losing it, and keeping possession for large spells, he's more suitable than guys like Krasic and Elia. When we have to chase a goal with not much time, we're better off without him. Crossing is shit, can't dribble, can't create. He makes good movements, retains the ball well, presses like no other on the team (except Vidal) and of course, has his famous work rate.
