Button was immense tonight, if he had stayed in it would have been a different story.
All opinions mate. He made some important blocks. My biggest issue with bitton (not hatred) is how casual he is on the ball. He slows down play and his passing is poor. There are times when you're screaming for a quick direct pass and he turns unto trouble and gives it away. I also don't understand his role. Yes he defended well when we didn't have the ball but when we do have the ball he camps in between the opposition midfield. He creates no spaces. When mcgregor, and brown before him, played that role they don't stop moving. Coming back to collect the ball, moving left to right. Bitton doesn't do that. He just stands in the middle. I don't think he's the right player for how Ange wants the game to be played. But that's just my opinion.
