I have to ask, have we signed BA, s twin because over the last couple of games it must be a a different player. Let's be honest over the last 2 and a bit seasons BA has been crap, can't pass, can't score, can't assist yet he has been arguably out best player the last 2 games. I, as you may have noticed, been against him being fit to wear our beloved shirt, who knows I may even start to accept I have to change my mind about him.
Problem is why has he suddenly started to play after all those rubbish performance's, is it because he was dropped and now he knows he has to play instead of being 1st name on teamsheet go no apparent reason, anyway fingers crossed the new BA stays and the old BA has disappeared into the ether.

I think he’s been better lately because he’s staying on his feet more. Too often he’d go down looking for a free kick probably because he lacked confidence in himself. Now he’s laying it off quicker and his movement off the ball is excellent, although that was always good.
As you say Bri it has been some transformation and long may it continue.

I think your summary of BA over the last couple of years is a bit wide of the mark to be honest Old. Look at the video of all our goals from last season and you will be enlightened to see how many goals stemmed from him winning the ball back in dangerous areas. Not forgetting his 9 goals also, plus his assists.
He’s continuing this again this season, albeit at a higher level, at a higher level.
He’s frustrating I grant you, but he’s a lot better than many give him credit for.

Oldbri, I think if you asked the Everton fan about us buying DCL thay would be saying the same thing about him don’t waste your money he’s rubbish now look at him, it’s like BA had a few bad games that hit his confidence got criticised by all, tried his best but carried on to become a great asset to the team how long it last.
{Ed025's Note - hes a good player Whiteman and could be a great asset for leeds mate, its his fitness record that worried the Everton fans and he does have spells where he cant hit a bulls arse with a banjo, but when hes on song hes as good as anyone out there imo..
