Bog standard stuff but pretty remarkable for our bunch. He probably doesn't play that much because he disrupts the tippy tappy shite we favour and does crazy, positive shit that sometimes comes off.
I take the comparative point - but he has definitely been one of our better players - and (whisper it quietly) far more effective at setting up goals than Jack has been, even when fit.
