That's shit logic. What if he plays the same game overall next match but this time the ball doesn't fall to his feet in the box? Is he then a worse player?
I'm not writing him off, I'm just not convinced by those things. A goal is a goal but it doesn't mean shit going forward if we can't build off of how he scored.
Why is it suddenly without reason to evaluate and scrutinize our players? I don't think he's delivering. That's my point. Last game the only good-ish actions (besides the goal) he had was going inside and shifting to the right side. The only time he had succesful dribbles, he was nowhere close to producing anything from it.
In the cons column, he's losing possession in inexcusable situations that have nothing to do with adapting to our tactics. And I'm not talking about him being bold and losing duels playing high risk high reward. I love that about him. I'm talking about bad touches, imprecise passes, bad close control. It shows that he was raised in France where there is space and time to have bad touch. That shit will cost him the opportunities to utilize his ability here.
Granted, this was a tough game for a player like him that's better with space, but it's not going to be the only one.
