His discipline is probably the only criticism anyone can have towards him. He's had a brilliant eight months and pound for pound is probably the signing of the season.

 

I don't think there's anything wrong with his discipline personally. If you take that aggression away from his game, then he won't be the same player.

 

Plus as Gimp mentioned - at the moment he seems to get booked a lot for trivial things, it's not like he's intentionally going out there to injure opponents.

 

He just needs to be a bit clever sometimes I think, not tackle someone when he could just block their path and protect the space. We miss him a lot when he's out, would be great if he could learn to get suspended less.

 

I wouldn't want to change his fundamental nature though obviously, you're right there.

not many of those bookings haven't been of the professional 'necessary' type though.

He's quicker than I thought too. He kept pace with nani a couple of times on Tues. 

 

Very agile too.

We all know what's going to happen the instant he hits Blackpool

He was poor today and I would have taken him off when Lovenkrands went off because I thiught he'd pick up a second booking.  The movement around and in front of him was really bad which didn't help him.
