I like him, always looking for a pass and puts in a big shift every time he plays.
If anything the only way he could improve upon his early performances is to back himself a bit more dribbling on the counter.
But his willingness to keep the ball moving quick & to always move in to good spaces after the pass gets us out of some congested areas on the pitch.
Occasionally he misplaces a pass but he's generally quite safe & disciplined which is what we need in two out of the 3 mids I think.
I think Gini would take more risks if he was played further forward but Im sure he recognises you can't afford to try and beat someone in the one on one that deep in the middle of the park otherwise you get punished on the counter - if this is the case its the mark of a very intelligent footballer & also usually a very dutch one.

was thinking the same during the game but he has a LONG way to go before he gets to his levels consistently.
