A loose first touch holds him back at times.

Always looking for a quick forward pass. Just a shame he has little vision or ability to pick out passes.

A decent shot on him but he is not really a goalscoring midfielder, he lacks the technique.

Always moving and never still, looking constantly for the ball and wanting it.

Decent skill but nothing special, lacks the touch and control to really do much.

Typical of the kind of players who come through at Bilbao, his technique is very good.

His passing is also very good, though he does lack the ability to spot and pull off the Hollywood style pass.

Not the player you look to if you need a goal, though he does score the odd goal or two.

Very good movement, clearly been well schooled in the Bilbao academy and knows how to pass and move.

More of a grafter than a flicks and tricks kind of player.
