His first PL start since mid September, after a lengthy injury break, only the 6th or 7th (I think?) of his PL career, and in a 2 man midfield against Arsenal. Tough task for a 21yo when we only had 28% or so possession. Obviously some of that could be attributable to him, but we played a lot of long balls, bypassing midfield.
He wasn't impressive, but very few were, and as is usual with him, he showed good flashes and made excellent blocks. Silly to write him off already, especially since Moyes showed faith in him by giving him a start. Against some of our upcoming opponents I think he'll show his true worth, if given the opportunity.
