Both of these. His technical ability is as good as any Albion player I’ve seen, if not better. (Vicente?)
However, what I was focussing on was his willingness to criticise himself to try to urge his team mates to improve themselves too.
At the risk of exposing my man love for him, he’s just bloody ace.
I said on another thread I thought he was ordinary in the first half, and his comments are spot on.
That said, when I did the match ratings thread I still ended up giving a ‘7’, when the average was ‘6’...... he was better in the second half, but is just so good on the ball generally.
I think we can keep him going for 3 more years.....
