I don't think you can blame him for his distribution, he takes a lot of back passes under pressure and he's obviously been told to hoof the ball into midfield and beyond at which point it becomes a 50/50 ball. And if one of our players happens to win that header, it's still a 50/50 as to to who wins the next again and again until someone eventually comes away with the ball under control. It's a very poor tactic.
