Positives - pace, acceleration.
Negatives - lightweight, plays with his head down therefore poor at playing in colleagues, erratic finisher, heavy first touch.
Positionally and in terms of tackling he lacked too, but I can forgive him those for not being a natural wingback. His other negatives were the case whether he played wingback or further forward, so his position is no excuse.
I'll predict now that he will never be a regular fixture in an elite European side. Arguably we aren't even in that category at present and he's not been good enough for us either. Why am I confident on this? Never has there been a top player who played with his head down. Never.
Yes there was... Milan Baros...
