It still dumbfounds me how slack those midfielders are in covering each other's positions. Its one of the most crucial parts of the job.
I don't think hiding is quite fair - even after he makes a ricket with a risky pass he never stops demanding the ball (I know you may mean defensively but it doesn't seem a trait of his)
