He's not been great but he's also being asked to be the fulcrum of a pretty duff team just now.
He looks unfit and lacking sharpness. I've no doubt in my mind if we weren't struggling as we are he'd have had another couple of weeks of being eased in and likely be all the better for it.
He seems to be struggling with the chemistry of those around him, as the rest of the team is. There were a few moments in the game where him, Jesus and Timber all seemed to be gravitating towards each other without any real purpose or incisive movement in complete contrast to the Odegaard/Saka/White patterns we've seen. You wouldn't expect it to be anywhere near the understanding of those three, but it looked completely clueless at times.
