He's has been good for a total of five minutes in one match.
But he's a fringe French International. The odds are that he is better than he is bad, no?
Don't misunderstand, I think it is talented, but one good half does not make a player at NUFC. It is just a heavy level of confirmation bias to say that Pardew has prevented him from playing this way every match, when he has not played this way in any match.
Encouraging from both him and the entire side, this half though.
