interesting thing i heard by a south american football expert and it ties in with why he is so good for columbia. His role in the national team is to do his protection job and they avoid him getting the ball, if he does get it, is told to pass it straight to james or cuadrado. They are also told to go and collect ball from him.
played this way for us he could be a real asset. I dont think we have been playing him right at all.
