No idea why you're getting on his back, one of the few positive players going forward we have. Not a lot of point getting crosses in the box anyway seeing as we hardly ever have anyone in there, plus we score very few headed goals. We are poor in midfield and defence - perhaps our poor form is long overdue. (Say 20 years or so)
Hes anything but a positive. The fact we put all our attacks through him makes him a massive liabilty.
Downing is much worse. Pains me to say it as a Liverpool fan. Also Pasqual at Fiorentina is awful but all three are up there.
