Yeah, I guess thats what it looks like if you don't get what he's there for.Well if poch has instructed him to slow down the tempo and pass sideways he has got it down to a tee!
He worked well with LoCelso against SUFC and I think he will look even better if he has GLC and N'Dombele there to work with, as they are more aggressive attacking players, so he will naturally find them forward of where he receives or retrieves the ball.
His positioning allows them the opportunity to be aggressive knowing he is there to cover them if they lose the ball.
