sure he gets these instructions from pep, you are right
and yes, he is a classic playmaker compared to the others, focusing on distributing the ball
but i know him from the beginning and he never was any different
with heynckes quicker playstyle it was often annoying to see how slow he works
often losing the ball without any reason
and for his passing
kroos has amazing ability there, true enough, but he switches between many many safety passes and then comes a long ball missing the target or completely outta the place
trust me, i have seen it more often than you can imagine ^^
the solid passing from schweini or javi martinez fits the situation more often
if you look at last season, the key was kroos injury and not his impact on the games xD
at least we agree on his attitude
but as i said, england has fixed many players up in that regard
and if he stays like he is.....still better than the players united has atm
well you have a very selective perception of his passing, focusing only on the fails. his overall accuracy is the 2nd best in bundesliga with > 90%, only lahm is slightly better and kroos is the offensive player who plays by far the most (and also most accurate) long balls too, only boateng makes more long passes but obviously he's not as precise as kroos. and the "solid passing" of schweini and javi (which is the short passing kroos does even more precise than them) does not open players like kroos' long balls. and sure enough kroos averages the most key passes of all the central midfielders...
