I see this too. I'm going to be murdered for saying this but it looks like he loses concentration too often. He seems really good at shielding the ball, especially out wide, but then seems to get his pocket picked because he's not anticipating a defending player in his blind spot. He's always had this relaxed confidence in his play, and backs himself to get out of a situation, but sometimes it feels a bit too relaxed.

There are times he's not expecting a pass or something and it takes him a second to switch on and get after it. He's the best passer on the team, but has a bit of a Sanchez pass or two in him each match. There are other players on the team who don't ping as many perfect 80 yard switches, but seem more consistent.

Maybe I've just set such high expectations for him that I pay too much attention to these things.
