It's because he isn't the direct dribbler he used to be. If you're judging him by that standard he has fallen off a cliff. His signature move now is drive at the full back and lose the ball lol
However, he has become far more of a facilitator the last 18 months or so. He had a poor game today, but he has been so crucial in our buildup play with quick accurate passes and unlocking defences with sly balls in behind. Yet, he still manages to get his goals as well.
He's truly phenomenal. Just one of those players who's never really out of the game even when he's playing poorly. Always seems to pop up with a goal or assist out of nowhere. True sign of eliteness IMO.
