Di Maria is probably the player that drives me mad more than any other. He's simultaneously one of the best and worst players in the world! If he played for Arsenal, boy, I'd have higher blood pressure.
I have never seen another player with so much technical quality miss so many easy chances, take so many terrible touches, botch or fail to see so many easy passes, and then put a freekick in the top corner from 35 yards or dance through 5 players. He's like an extreme version of Mkhitaryan.
I think the thing that links them is that despite their excellent technique, world class in Di Maria's case, and good physical qualities, they're both, in my opinion, thick as a brick in terms of awareness and decision making.
