That's a fairly good skill. He takes a lot of opponents out of the game. People miss the point when they say he has no end product.
Dribble past a few suckers and lay it off to Eriksen, Alli or Lamela. Job done. Of course, end product would make him a superstar, but the good characteristics that he does have still shouldn't be underestimated.
I haven't checked the exact figures lately, but Spurs have won a huge % of games that he's started versus significantly lower when he hasn't.
In short, the guy's a beast.
