I suppose it all comes down to what one expects of him. I've stopped expecting that he's gonna do some crazy CR9-shit out there on the flank. I know that there's always a 50/50 chance that he'll get past his man and that his crossing is generally poor. But he works like crazy, and like you say, time and again he pops up and does something good. But it's his workrate that makes him a very important part of this Juve side.

Exactly.
I don't know what those who are bashing him here are expecting? Stellar mind-blowing dribbling out of the blue? Great 1v1 skills?
Ain't gonna happen.
He is at his best right now, we have to appreciate that.
He is a workhorse and every team needs at least one player like that.
