Hope it's just you. I think he's under analysed personally, and damned with faint praise mostly.
Hmm, think it's at the point that he's getting fair coverage, at least on here.
He's not the first player to be very good at anticipating, positioning and making good decisions on a pitch. Yet the fight, both for him on the pitch and for those supporting him at the game / on here was such a long one, that there seems to be a tendency to keep banging on about his quality.
Personally, it's obvious what he's very good at (and while he improved in those areas, even in his first season he was decent at them, else he wouldn't have got Rafa's trust to play as part of a deeper two) and the few areas he can improve a bit, finishing the few opportunities he gets (which is how it should be, there's a problem if your dm is making too many forward runs) being the main one.
Know he'll do his bit, the issue is now his partner and the player ahead of those two. We need a clear idea there, not get them spot on one game and screw it up the next.
