People on here must watch a different player to the one I do. I don't think he has been 'brilliant' at all, brilliant at dropping the ball, missing tackles and throwing wayward passes maybe.
He has very odd moments of brilliance and brings aggression that we seem to lack these days, but for me they are at too much of price. If he could get his head together he could probably be a very good player, but I sometimes wonder what is going on in his mind with some of the things he does.
I don't what the psychology issue is when people praise players who have yet done enough to form a consensus opinion. So I think fans like to get at the front of the cue hoping to be proved right with a positive review of a player. I'm with you Smurf, he is erratic, runs strange lines, is so often on a different wavelength to the rest of the team, he mucks up many a move. Due to his nature of forcing risky plays, he drops/fumbles more passes than he pulls them off, but of course when they do come off then you have yourself a memorable moment. He had a bad start to the season, though you wouldn't have known it if you'd read the forums here, but has come into some form now he's becoming established. I think he needs to play a safer game as I recognise he has talent, but is just too wild with it.
