I think he was nervy in the first half and especially hesitant to go forward. Once he settled down and realized lil Wayne wasn't going to cause him any problems he made some great attacking runs.
He is extremely right footed. Someone in the match thread pointed out that having two right-footed players on the left was causing us to pass up some great crossing opportunities. I'm not sure either one even attempted a cross at the end line.
Needs to start every week.
