I think that's massively unfair. While I personally think he's a very good player I can appreciate that others don't rate him, but to say he doesn't often put in a shift is clearly incorrect.
I'd have thought even his harshest critics could appreciate his work rate - he runs his socks off for us every time he plays.
Agree with that and that he shows touches of class well above L2 level at times. He isn't the aerial presence we'd probably like him to be but it's also true that he seems to get fouled almost constantly whenever high balls come his way and rarely gets a free kick. Otherwise, his hold up play is much better than it was and he's good at bringing other players into the game. I thought he had another decent game yesterday.
