That's ridiculous. He does track back and does make attempts to challenge for the ball. Unfortunately he gets bullied off it at times due to his lack of physical stature. Also in regards to his passing, pretty much all midfielders play the ball backwards and side-wards for the majority of the game- you can't expect him or any player to play the ball forwards constantly. When he does have the opportunity to play forward incisive balls he clearly does, his switches are also quality and pin point! I would say him and Davis are best passers in the squad so you complaining about his passing is crazy!
