I must have been watching a different first half. To me he looked very assured in possession, mostly playing in the forwards low and hard, but when he couldn't simply opting for the low risk sideway pass. I didn't see any aimless hoofing or sloppy loss of possession. Nothing spectacular, but very solid and assured. Defensively it was much the same except for one moment where he let Coleman just skip by and cross while he stood stationary expecting ASM (ha!) to deal with it.
