What is frustrating about him is

he will have little spells in games where he looks really good aor little runs or surges forward where he really looks the part but then he will go missing for large chunks of games where he basically just stands off the opposition and is far too passive.

All in all I just find him a little too passive and for a game like Swansea where they like to ping it about I think we needed Tettey's physical presence and greater athleticism.

Obviously if we stay up then as well as the Striker situation addressing the balance in midfield is Hoots key mission. We get away with it when Hoolahan is on song but he's been pretty average for the last 3 months and I think moving forward we need to find a playmaker to play alongside Johnson or Tettey.
