He struggled when he joined looked overpriced, but he found himself quickly after that and was brilliant for us playing really tidily as a 6. This season it's like he's completely forgotten how to play in a single pivot, making some of the dumbest passes he never even thought of last season. He's also been a couple steps slow and all of those borderline 5050s are clearly fouls/cards now. So now he plays in a double and ETH went out and bought Amrabat last minute after realizing the massive risk in midfield.
So while his discipline hasn't changed, his quality as a player has declined considerably. Without the athleticism we've known him for, and tactical awareness he showed last season, he's a shell of himself right now.
