100% agree with this.
If he could play like this even 60-80% of the time you could live with the defensive frailties. He's been so good on the ball. But it's more like 10-20% of the time.
I know you think otherwise, but he has been good week in week out...although it sounds like he was especially good today. A couple of errors, but he sets up the vast majority of our attacking play. Against Port Vale for instance, his throughball st up Howson and then another for Rogers to set up Crooks. Glad you've at least appreciated his play today.
He does so much that's simple, subtle and unfussy.... the little wall pass with Howson last week that gave Howson the space to set things up for a goal. Happened so quick, and yes, it was a two yard pass... but crucial.
