This is probably a harsh comment…so correct me if im wrong….

I feel that although he’s clearly a very good player, he’s at his best when we’re on top in a game (which of course he plays a part in), and he’s really helps us create chances and dominate in those moments.

However, when we’re up against it, he doesn’t do much to really turn the momentum of the game when we’re really need to get control and keep it for a bit.

I’m probably being very harsh, and it’s a criticism I’ve had of our midfield as a whole for a long time (back to when we had Gabi). Perhaps it is our midfield as a whole that has this problem rather than being a nunez issue
