It's a bit more complicated than that for me. Playing as a striker he often appeared to shy away from a battle and just showed absolutely no desire to get himself in the 6 yard box and fight the opposition's center backs. I find it astonishing to see how combative he is in midfield all of a sudden. For some reason he must have found it really hard to deal with the burden of being the lad relied upon to put the ball in the net, whereas he appears to know absolutely no fear in midfield.
