I understand he is young and learning but as a retired soccer center midfielder, if you don't have peripheral vision you are a liability. When he got caught in the center square which resulted in a goal just before half time clearly shows he could not see his opposition coming from the corner of his eye. Cannot teach that type of awareness. Too bad because if he did he could be anything
He just needs to know that when he gets the ball he has to assess his options very quickly and execute straight away. On the occasions when I've seen him get caught he gave the impression that he just did not understand that. I don't know what his peripheral vision is like but if he can speed up his decision making and execution then he would be a much better player - I would have thought he could be coached to do that.
