I like how he clapped the Villa fans on his way past them after being subbed. Kept applauding for a good sixty secs.
I only saw the first half but he wasn't that bad, not great but not terrible either. The story of his time here.I saw a lot of him when he played in Germany and he was really good, like Jack was for us, a great dribbler who committed defenders but also had a wonderful weight of pass on killer balls in the final third. The pace seems to have completely gone, if thats mental or physical, who knows?I don't think UE will be too displeased with him, he seems to retain the ball pretty well and understands, follows tactical instructions. But he's not the player he was, and the player we need. I cant see us shelling out on the kind of contract he's going to expect based on what we've seen, we dont need to spend that kind of money for the attributes he now seems to have.And, his 'cameo' when he came on against Wolves will live in my memory as one of the worst performances I have ever seen. So at least that will be memorable.
