I like him and he fecking infuriates me in equal measures. If and when he release s the ball early, as he can, and sets up an attack or put in a thru ball, then IMO he is doing what I want from him. Conversely when he beats someone and then seems to want to beat them again and someone else in ever decreasing circles...then he is just slowing our attacking options down.He also won us countless free kicks. It seemed every time he beat a player they just fouled him. And with impunity because there were no yellow cards issued. And it's happened against other teams recently too.
Having said that I can see why you would say he looks lazy. It goes back to a previous discussion: is he playing a much safer role under instruction or is he simply not trying.
For our second goal it was he who dispossessed the Villa player on the halfway line and quickly fed the pass to Moura that led to Kane's penalty. In about three seconds he turned defence into attack that led to the goal. That's what he gives us. After that he totally dominated until for some unfathomable reason he was hooked for Sissoko.
Oh for a Hoddle that could not only beat someone but could see and make quick accurate attacking passes....and mostly did!
