The thing I like is the way he is constantly looking to be available and in play. Great skills, but great attitude also. Especially after that first game when, imho, and with hindsight, I suspect he simply was suprised by the Aussie physicality (and refereeing of it).  Great adjustment from him.

And great adjustment by Ufuk, to get him where he needed to be on the field. 

He works his absolute ass off despite getting kicked all game, then still provides assists and goals  - not many 10s in the world can do that, honestly. Most (especially at this level) are either all hard work, not enough flair or the opposite.

I don't think I've ever been so blatantly wrong about a player after their first game. He really did look lightweight against WU first up, though.
