There was passage of play in the first half today where Ollie had his centre-half isolated, with a chance to run at him him, and he just didn't have that burst of pace, at all, and had to stop and turn back. At his best, he's always willing to run at (and beyond) defenders in tha tposition, but that's the first time I think I've seen him simply unable to do the things he was doing a year or so ago.
I really hope it's related to his ongoing injury, and something from which he is capable of recovering, because if not, it's the first time I'd be thinking his legs have gone.
I hope the club have a plan to get him back to his best, because this 95% Ollie isn't going to be enough until the end of the season.
