So:

A) did he play well? Always involved going forward, good positioning in final third, could have had a penalty, hit the post, kept going

Or

B) did he play poorly? Out of position for first goal, left defense exposed, went down looking for a penalty when it was perfectly on his left foot, constantly wasted good forward positions by hitting first man and not getting shots off quick enough

I tend to think if the answer is A we’ve been conditioned to accept mediocrity and that only leads one way (see Arsenal)
