A little bit of skill and a backwards or sideways pass. Retains the ball well because he rarely takes on a difficult killer pass.
If he could add that final ball to his game, he'd be excellent. Not sure that's the kind of thing that can be coached, but we have seen flashes of it.
I think his style appeals to Farke as he really values those that don't give the ball away, but not many other managers go for the patient approach play and ball retention that we do.
