Shines even more in games like that. Has the physicality to hold it up when we're under the cosh, and the technique/footwork to keep it in tight spaces. Classy player with strength. Rare.
This is why I'm inclined to go for today's performance. Also, we had the momentum back then. We've been under the cosh and have been depleted today. Won at the Emirates without our two first choice CMs.
I don't think he's ever looked disinterested. I remember him going mad in front of the Holte with our late winner in Europe right at the start of the season.
His finishing and composure has come on so much it's ridiculous. One that hit the post was a great hit (similar to Spurs away) and was very unlucky. The chip under pressure from SR was just sublime.
