Apart from the scoring bit that's almost exactly how I'd describe Zokora. I'm sorry but if it's a contest over who has the better touch then JJ would win by a country mile.
When JJ doesn't play we miss him massively. He doesn't just run around alot. He frequently runs around more than anyone on the pitch which is invaluable. Alot of the time he has to do extra running to make up for Zokora and Thudd's ineptitude.
If we actually got someone decent to play behind him then he could concentrate a bit more on getting forwards where he's at his best.
Extra running to make up for Zok? Zoks main attribute is his running. DZ and JJ's problems are simple: Headless chickens. Which points at bad coaching. They do not have defined roles. Our midfielders are capable, but the chaotic way in which they play is causing us points.
