In the past he has struggled to impose himself on matches. Moving the ball around neatly in a largely possession orientated side is never going to win you much in the way of plaudits. In recent weeks we have seen a greater willingness to get forward and I thought he had a decent and underappreciated performance in the Europa this week. He was central to our best attacking play, which is the first time that's been typed about him in a red shirt.
That gives me a bit of belief in him, however if he's struggling to get into the side with Herderson out injured then you have to say his days look numbered. I hope he can step up and turn it around because he does have talent, but it might just be too little, too late.
