I don't agree MP, he's not a ditherer or a dribbler for the sake of it, I think he was a 21yo learning, I think his decision making - when to hold onto the ball, and his passing decisions, risks etc, noticeably improved as the season went on.
As I said I do think he is very talented. Only seen him play a handful of times, and do accept he's young and still developing, but he's always struck me as a player whose first instinct is to go himself, dribble, and try to drive forward himself, then look for the pass later.
A lot of it is just my personal preference as to what I want out of a central midfield player, but I do think we could do with another player who plays at one/two touch and plays with his head up - gets ball and gives it again.
