Because some people don’t seem to appreciate what having a midfielder who actually wants to receive the ball can do for a team. As much as it’s a buzzword nowadays, he brings a degree of dynamism to the team, and gets us to play structured passages of play to move up the park. In fairness, it’s not always the most efficient or fastest way often enough, but at least it’s not mindless hoofing up the park. But hey, he sometimes loses the ball whilst trying to pick a forward pass. His lofted ball for the 2nd goal against United was a peach though.
