What He Gives Orient
The sample is only 61 minutes, so this page should be read as role evidence rather than a selection verdict. The useful question is where the staff are trying to use him and whether that involvement scales with more minutes.
Deep passes that found an inside connection: 13%; deep passes dying before pressure: 87%.Because so much build-up is routed through his zone, poor spacing around him can make his turnovers look worse than they are.
11 losses in the sample, with 0 becoming dangerous transition leaks.Action Map
Where His Influence Happens
Red lines are progressive passes. Gold dots are entry actions, teal dots are defensive actions and grey dots are losses. The orientation uses the corrected football-facing right/left mapping.
Deep Build-Up Decisions
This is the key Orient-context question: is Boniface being used to connect through midfield, or to release the next phase as early as possible?
