His strengths are his marking and aerobic ability and his weaknesses are decision-making and lack of agility; not really midfielder attributes.
Agree. He likes to take the risky inside passes and turns it over more then he hits it. Just doesn’t have the clean foot skills yet to be using the ball in the middle of the ground where turnovers hurt and punish us.
While his form has been down this year he is still looms as being absolute gun game winning forward-playing him elsewhere is not the way to develop a kid with his skill set.
