The criticism of Junho is very unfair. He's not perfect but only 20 and learning to adapt his game to the English Championship. He is surprisingly robust and takes his fair share of the physical stuff and does not shirk a challenge. His job is not to win the ball but to be creative and he is brilliant at that. Little one touch passes into space.
He does lose the ball a lot, often trying back heals that don't come off. You saw that right at the beginning of the game when he wins the ball off the player who was later sent off (not bad for a player who is too weak and easily knocked off the ball) and then tried a back heal to stop the ball going out which ultimately lead to a Watford chance. The other reason he loses the ball is because he takes risks and they don't always come off but in the Watford highlights you see two brilliant little touches from him - one to Burger I think it was in the build up to Junior's chance and the ball to Mmaee for his difficult chance near the end. Nobody else in the team, except perhaps Haks plays those sort of passes. I can't find his passing stats for the game but he's the creative spark we have been missing.
