Did he open up defenses with mazy runs?
yea he made some good runs
Did he slot through balls into the forwards?
yea played a few good passes
When playing as a forward did he have shots on target?
One shot on weaker foot after creating some space well.. didn see too much of the ball in front of goal
Did he trouble their center halves or their keeper?
forced a decent save and some tackles were required yes
He made two darting runs when he had 20 yards of space around him and ran straight into defenders.

He looked composed on the ball, showed some quality touches, left defenders dead a few times, always looking around.. over ran one or two but that happens.
Amazed he was taken off, defo looked one of the better players out there and was coming more and more into the game. They should have been trying to get him on the ball more i really thought... Im maybe a bit biased but defo thought was not a bad performance, away against the best defence in the league..
He easily has better touch, technique and skill than our beloved dirk
