However, he didn't get a pre-season with us, he there was very little opportunity to play with our best players behind him on a consistent basis, and for a large part, if not the majority of the season, we didn't play in a way that maximised the strengths he does have.
Without meaning it as a criticism of the management team, we've brought in a player who thrives in space and transitions, and dropped him into a team which seeks to constrict the pitch as much as possible and squeeze the game. With all that in mind he's done pretty well to adapt all things considered. Far from the wailing failure he's portrayed by The Agenda.
