I was a huge fan of Sawyers, know absolutely what such players bring to sides and would very much like Jensen to be doing the same. He is not, unfortunately, by some distance.
'Killer passes' are a case in point: how many have there been in the last 10/15 games other than the one that everyone remembers against Swansea? He is a good dead ball striker, for sure, but his forward passing in open play is still generally disappointing.
Without Jensen on the field we would be a long ball team. Really? I don't see much long ball about JDS, CN and Vitaly. They can all play, pick a pass, and link up moves between back and front. But, what they also bring, which Jensen has not so far, is a consistent ability to protect the ball ie earning the right to play.
Don't get me wrong: I know there is a very good player in there; I am very definitely not delighting in getting on his back. I think he can ultimately contribute at the level Sawyers did. I just find it frustrating that he is not getting closer to this level at present.
