His short passing isn’t bad but his mid to long passing isn’t the best.
Not saying his passing is good, but you aren’t stupid, you need to have a target for your passes.

Last week he was surrounded by 4 Man City players with absolutely no support from his team mates. He lost the ball. Same happened to Hoillet.

What could they do ?

His passing stats would also be much better if he played loads of aimless passes around with his keeper and back 4. However that’s not our game, he tries to make things happen and like Ramsey( I’ve seen similar criticism of him from Wales fans) it affects his passing stats . Anyone analysing him needs to take this into account
