He's been consistently our best midfielder since he joined the club.
Even if I concurred with that, what does that prove?
In that same period as a club, we have won nothing.
Being consistently average isn't much of a testament for a Rangers player.
He can do lots of things well, but nothing much to the level required to win difficult matches.
He doesn't make quick difficult defence-splitting passes because he lacks the range in his passing.
He rarely scores because he lacks an accurate or explosive shot from distance.
He rarely gets into the box because he doesn't have the intuition to arrive at the right time to blind side a defence.
He doesn't have good technical skills in tight areas.
He rarely drives the team forward because he lacks drive and the skill to accelerate past an opponent.
However, he has mastered the sideways pass, he understands his limitations and doesn't give the ball away too often by usually choosing the safe pass.
He can tackle and get inside an opponent's personal space to disrupt their play.
He has good discipline in positioning and good concentration in his defensive duties.
Although lacking pace, he nonetheless has a very good engine.
He is unselfish and a good team performer and a grafter to boot.
He is a very likeable lad.
In short, he is a squad player.
