I agree that his touch goes as he gets tired (like everyone tbh).I think he has great first touch when not tired but he doesn't yet have the engine to keep it up consistently. There's a big difference between his first involvements in a game and his latter ones.
But for me he also has a window in his first 5-10 minutes where the adrenaline is buzzing and he hits everything at 100mph. He isn't relaxed and taking softer touches. Generally it results in the ball bouncing up his body or into tackling range.
Once that initial buzz does off he has a good touch.
Would like to see him be a bit more circumspect with those unnecessary flicks he does from time to time but that comes with experience.
