The class is there. If Unai can harness it correctly (i.e. cutting out the sloppiness closer to our box) then he'll be a major asset. We'd be in a much poorer position without the points he's got us so far this season.
Such an infuriating player. Great goal tonight, and some good play, but also so many times on the break he slows up and runs into a defender, losing the ball.

He obviously had a big hand in why we won, but on several occasions he was unnecessarily wasteful and makes poor decisions when he has more time.
The one that frustrated me was about midway through the 2nd half where the ball bounced for him to chase and he burned the defender, got to the ball with space and then slowed down to dribble past the defender that wouldn't have got anywhere near him if he'd just knocked the ball into space and ran onto it. He definitely has the pace to really hurt teams but seems to not want to use it, it's really frustrating.
