A lot has been asked of Lucas Bergvall at Tottenham this season. And at a time when Spurs' senior stars have regularly gone missing, the 19-year-old has stood up to be counted.
The Swedish youngster has been one of the few shining lights in what has been a pretty dismal season for Spurs.
Having played as much as he has - 1,746 minutes in all competitions - the Tottenham supporters can surely look forward to him being even better with a season of such experience under his belt.
There is likely to be change in the summer transfer window, with Ange Postecoglou expected to make changes in the midfield department, as well as up front and in defence.
When injuries have hit the defence and attack this season, the midfield has seemingly got away with it, but for many it has been one of the most worrying areas on the pitch during a poor season.
And Postecoglou sent a clear, pointed message to the likes of Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur both of whom were hooked during the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth having started the match - in his assessment of Bergvall in his post-match press conference.
Postecoglou said: "Lucas was great. He has been great but he has played a lot and we've just got to be mindful of that.
"He's becoming an important part of our team. I thought he made a really big impact when he came on. Like I said we were sloppy when we were on the ball in the first half and he’s one who takes a bit more care with it.
"He's a technician and he carries the ball really well. I thought he and Sonny made a really good impact when they came on."
Postecoglou saying "he’s one who takes a bit more care with it" is a bit of a swipe at his other midfielders, particularly after such a poor first half performance.
