A liability when we don't dominate possession..Can't run or tackle.

I was thinking this. Doesn't dig a good individual performance out of a poor overall team effort. Is good when we're good. Doesn't really drive anything

When our midfield is so poor like tonight he’s surplus to requirements. That’s probably where little Emi can be better than him in this role. At least he’s a tenacious terrier and gets stuck in if the likes of McGinn and Kamara play badly.

A passenger living the dream. From what we saw tonight he's no second striker.

That was a stinker of a performance, one of the worst individual showings I can recall. Literally didn't do a single thing at even a rudimentary level.

That's actually quite a good comparison. He was shit too.

Not that I recall, too young to remember.

I did. He was dreadful, apart from a brilliant goal in a 1-1 draw at home to Everton.

Can sort of see why Leicester fans weren't overly disappointed to see him go. When he's bad he is absolutely horrendous. I don't think the Halesowen Town midfielders I watched on Saturday could have been any worse tonight

I thought he was awful tonight, I genuinely forgot he was playing for long stretches, but I do think he's a very talented player.

You are right though, he is definitely one of those "when he's good, he's good, when he's bad, he's absolutely terrible" types.

He's not suited to the turgid slow stuff we've been playing lately. He wants to play quick through balls and clever passes as we're driving forwards.

He was a passenger in the first half because we seemed to not bother with the central midfield and just play it to Moreno and then stand and watch as three Chelsea players crowd him out.
