What makes you think that? He's one of the best passers in the world, especially over long distances; only a handful of other players can even come close to the quality of his passing. (Suchlike as Scholes, Fabregas, and Pirlo)

and his finishing skill in the penalty box is shockingly lacking for a striker.

Well that's because he's not a striker, he's a midfielder. His finishing isn't particularly great, but then it's not particularly bad either. He can shoot from outside the box as well as anyone. Sure, he's not perfect, but he is a great player, if you want to use that term. What seperates him from a player who is just a good passer, like Michael Carrick for example, is his work rate, which makes him as effective at defending as he is at attacking.
