"Has been one of our better players."
Has he ?? what does he offer the team? like on another thread, it was mentioned him being a "flair" player. Personally I don't see what he offers the team, no goals, no assists, for the role he's supposed to be playing, attacking midfield he doesn't really offer that much creativeness.
Am I being harsh? Possibly ... however he was taken off before half time, a tactical switch maybe, but we played better without him.
There's more to a player than just a fancy foreign name and a random hair style.
Again I'm maybe being harsh, but I don't see what he offers the team at the moment.
