Match Reaction vs West Ham

[Kryptonite]

I don't think it is his position at all. He played well today but the common criticism is the time he takes on the ball which is magnified the closer he is to his own goal. Today he was efficient which was good, but he's an attacking midfielder. Today's domination was mostly because Wilshere and Cazorla had really good games ahead of him.

Ye that's the point!! He can move into free positions and play an easy pass to wilshire and Santi. He takes too long when there is no simple ball on and thats when all those flicks come out. He moved quicker than Arteta,

I don't really agree but am glad it worked out tonight. I think his strengths are direct running and playing through-balls more than anything else. When playing deep, he'll find himself in pressure positions against better teams where there isn't an out-ball and it's not his game to deal with that.
