This has been the big difference for me.

He's always been the absolute definition of a luxury player. Absolute silky on the ball, but not quite getting on it enough, and frankly a little lazy defensively. And you need some really good grafters to do the extra work created by players such as this.

What DW has so far added to his game is a lot more work. He has been part of an effective press, second half vs Cov in particular he worked hard out of possession to get back and cover. And rather than slowly moving to position to get the ball, he was moving with urgency, finding space and demanding the ball.

It's been a really impressive couple of displays from him. Excellent in fact.
