I'm surprised you're surprised tbh. He's awful in that role, just has a habit of being in the 'right place' at, yes, the right time. He contributes so little to the play that it kills some of my brain cells.
he is not aweful I dont see why ppl hates him he is a nucles of Chris plan he will be he in the team no matter one. he is the capitan of this side. HBA will fight it out against Jonas and Rout. Smith Tiote Barton and Gutheri will fight for the two postion. Nolan with out injury he will be in one of the first in the team sheet.
