Very good positional sense, which is needed as he lacks mobility.

A very good passer of the ball, though he is not passing it as well as normal so far this season.

Willing to take the card when needed, but it is not his first thought, he will use cynicism when needed.

Has a great shot on him but he very rarely gets forward far enough to get within range to use it.

Lacks mobility and tends to just sit rather than looking to move to receive the ball.

Good positional sense but he can be caught out as he is extremely aggressive and will chase an aerial challenge at times, leaving a gap.

Decent passer but not got the range of passing of a top midfielder or the vision to pick out the really insightful passes.

Very cynical, likes to intimidate in the aerial challenge with his elbows to ensure he puts opponents off or out. Happy to kick or do whatever is needed for the team.

Has great composure, so you can generally rely on him scoring when close in, but it is usually with his head as he does not have an outstanding shot on him.

Excellent movement, despite the lack of mobility he tends to get himself into a good position to win a ball played to him.
