I thought he was different class today.
Kept the ball superbly as usual & seemed to have abit more freedom that in recent months.
Over the past few weeks I have seen people questioning his attitude, but he is still undoubtley by far our most talented midfielder & today showed it. Today he was certainly up for the fight.
I'd give him more freedom every week, as he could be a poor mans Yaya Toure with abit of confidence & belief.

He was class today and did that great run first half even though it came to nothing, MOTM with Wilson a close second!

He got forward much more than usual and used the ball well. We still cocked up a few promising situations going forward and were a bit jittery at the back but I thought this was a good performance, we did what we had to do and deserved the win.

Really?! I thought he was better but still too negative. Far too willing to play the ball backwards.

Fair point, but I do think he is far more timid for attacking football than he used to be. As if TP has beaten the ambition out of him.

He played well, but I thought Wilson was by far the best player and a shame he had to go off injured. Crouch was also very good, which is a relief.

I'd much prefer him to play the ball backwards or sideways if there is not a decent option going forwards. It's just good to see a midfielder who is composed & comfortable on the ball. Just today I thought he had abit more fight & freedom about is performance today.

Think he plays better when Adam is playing too, so at least we have two players that can control and use the ball.
