His first touch is still first division standard, but damn the rest of his game is top drawer.

Yep pretty much it in a nutshell.

This is the level I expect him to be at, where he's influencing the game more and more often instead of just popping in a goal and disappearing. His goalscoring record isn't important in many ways when looking at how Rom's game is coming along overall.

Performing so well now just highlights how poor he was for long periods of last season.
 

It's just not though is it.

What's not? His game is not good or his first touch is not that bad.

Because both are true, he see's the play around him, his passes are generally decent these days, he can cross, runs with or without the ball, 'can' hold the ball up, shoot, head, try through balls, closes down the keeper.. Only if he can collect the ball first though, which a lot of the time simply doesn't happen because of his first touch.
