We need a way to link the attack and have an outball, and I think he has been thrown in at the deep end and asked to take up firminos role, which is the hardest to play in the whole side, and accomplishes those things. I think he's improving, even while our team is in a fucking state, and that is encouraging.
I cant fathom how anyone watches him play and thinks he somehow establish himself on the left. Maybe occasionally we would tactically use him there, but I don't see it, even if he has played there in the past and prefers it.
