Absolutely spot on. Went to the game yesterday and you can see him improving. He helped retain possession and linked between defence and attack. One poor shot aside, I thought his best game so far.Not according to the Sky Sports Stats:
69 touches - Passes 92.5% success rate
24.5% - forward passes
26.4% - passed to the left
25.4% - passed to the right
22.6% - passed back
West Ham 0-2 Crystal Palace: Jean-Philippe Mateta strikes twice and Konstantinos Mavropanos sent off in Eagles win
A woeful West Ham performance, which saw Konstantinos Mavropanos sent off and Lukasz Fabianski give away a penalty, highlighted the problems facing Graham Potter as Jean-Philippe Mateta fired Crystal Palace above them in the Premier League with a 2-0 win at the London Stadium.www.skysports.com
Stats in football don't always give the full picture but do show what you said was patently untrue
Unless you were really unlucky to be not looking at the pitch 75% of the time and only saw his 15 backward passes. Maybe you had your head in your hands as you are sure he's bad you couldn't bear to look when the ball came to him?
He's not had a good impact so far. But he is improving.
BTW on pass accuracy Eze came out top today with 96.9% pass success rate
(Well Schlupp had 100% but only two touches)
OG trusts him and it is evident that the manager knows what he is doing.
