Did you even watch the game? Every time he got the ball, he passed it off to a player running around the back, knowing that if he did kick it, he'd turn it over. That's smart. Knowing your limitations is a fantastic quality. The only time I can remember him butchering the ball, is when he didn't have a player to palm it off to. Instead of getting the support he needed from his team-mates, he kicked it out on the full. If he'd had help, he would have been responsible for yet another positive forward thrust - as he was all day.
