I'd consider the opposite. He's not having that good of a season. He's not even that good of a player. For people to even think he could play as a midfielder is just seriously funny, he'll be not so bad in a few years, but he won't be a world beater.
I found it a little a little galling that the BBC couldn't find it in themselves to give more prominence our game on the day of our 125th anniversary!
The bbc had been doing this for years, because arsenal only have one englishman that starts on a regular basis they show man utd first usually because they have 3 or 4 english players. I used to get really angry about it but hey i can't change it so you just have to deal with it.
