Quiet game for him. Biggest problem is the movement in front of him, or should I say lack off. The other problem is as well is when we do get forward it's done at a snails place, 2 things that will work against the type of player he is and his quality on the ball.
 
Too much hero ball today in the last third from Richy too - few times he had James in space on the wing with an opportunity to create a genuine chance and instead a shot to nowhere from impossible angle...

Between those and Iwobi's comical crossing at the end, I can imagine both DCL and James having heads in hands after the match...

Great ball at the end from James but he can do better from corners - I don't want to see him playing the short touch again...with Digne out none of his team mates are going to deliver as good a ball into the box as his...

The worst thing about the snail's pace is the slowness of thought... Rather than changing field the team took passes across three players to find him on occasion today. That's where he was really missing Digne today.
 
Needs to improve defensively mcneil did him then on another occasion looked like he was favourite for the ball but somehow came out second best.

Everyone needs to pull there own weight no matter who you are, especially now.

Maybe a few training sessions in how to defend

Biggest problem for me is how little of the ball he´s seeing right now due to us never being in control of games. If the midfield can´t get a grip on things away at Burnley and at home to Leeds then we´re struggling big time.
 

Have we turned on him yet??

You say that like we´ve signed peak Eden Hazard and there´s absolutely no criticism warranted. Yeah, he´s a fantastic talent but there´s plenty of reasons why he´s playing his football with us and not someone challenging for the title.

Yeah in those run of games at the start of the season we were always on the front foot and in control of games, every good thing we did was coming through him and he was making us tick. Lately he seems to be dropping deep to get on the ball because we're literally getting over run at times in the middle of the park.

He’s 29 mate, not exactly over the hill. Plus he’s totally different player than Hazard so not even a comparison

literally one of the most talented players we’ve ever had, and yet we find a way to piss over the chips

marvellous stuff
