The thing I like about this guy is that he doesn't try too many 'hollywood balls' (see Tiote, Cheik and Butt, Nicky) because he knows his long passing ain't too great. He keeps things nice and simple, on the deck, has a good eye for a through ball when he's far enough up the pitch, and his tenacity and harrying off the ball is so so valuable.
Great player who I think will continue to improve, as long as we don't play him in a midfield two.
