Tacking's fine, just has a weakness getting spun by agile players when too tight. Passing's great, has better days than others but I'm happy with it. Penalties neither here nor there, scores most of them so w/e.

The niche aspect is being a great metronome playing out from the back. I don't get as nervous as other people when we do that cos shady as others can be around him I know he's got it under control. Becomes more problematic once the opposition is pinned back cos he can slow the pace a little too much sometimes, but that in itself enhances his nicheness - good player to have to take the sting out of a game if needed.

Tacklings not fine,...too many yellows
Passings not great, too many don't make the target

Tbf yellows will happen for a player in his position who's not the most agile, but yeah I see your point.

Passing in terms of the actual accuracy I'm not seeing it. Yesterday was a bit dodgy admittedly but on the whole he's fine. Very quick google search on his pass completion stats this season has it at 89% which is very good. Higher than 90% and you're entering Basquets level quality in a DM.

Tbf though lots of those a small 5 yard passes which do nothing. His long range passing is an issue imo

Answered your own question perfectly here... He's just not a deciding factor in games
