He looked rusty an ineffective early but worked into form (that first half shot being the delineator).  It appeared to me that he was not the first or even second look from his teammates as he was wide open and in good position more than a few times only for the ball to be swung the other direction.

I don't think he is working well with Cucurella but I think that's on Cucurella.  The guy seems slow to make the decision to push the ball forward.

CP does have a few issues that are likely contributing to his lack of playing time.  He's really only good from 25 yds into goal.  He doesn't do much as an outlet.   Azpilicueta was much better here and that supports them favoring his side today especially early.  CP also still looks undersized and doesn't mix it up very much.   He also favors cutting inside to his right foot a bit too much for my liking.  It's predictable even though he is a very good dribbler.  His edge over over players is making things happen inside 25yds with the ball on the wing.  Would like him to be more effective with his crosses (as in try some).
