1. He is has scored 37/97 games in the prem with 1/4 of those appearances as a sub. All in a badly struggling team for the last 3 seasons under 3 managers.
2. His pressing, hold up play and fighting mentality - this guy runs his socks off every game. Unselfishly drops deep to help our midfield. Goes back to my point of a properly functioning midfield.
3. Finishing Ability, look at both his goals in this years NLD derby, both very different but both ridiculous strikes. Needs to add consistency but cannot doubt his ability. Are we not going to acknowledge big goals in big games? Because for me any player who deliver vs Sp**s and especially with those type of goals deserves more respect
Are you going to ignore the fact that until recently he hadn't scored away from home for over a YEAR. He is not good enough.
