How overrated is this guy? I watched the game with Stoke & was amazed to see how **** he was. I accept everybody has an off day but it must have been a really big day off to play as a central 3 in midfield & lose the battle to Dean Whitehead & Glen Whelan He's a lovely passer of the ball & gets amongst the goals with his ability to ghost in to the box.........but he's far too weak to be considered a central midfielder. He must have spent 30% of his time picking himself up off the floor arms spralled out crying to the ref after a fair shoulder charge. Stick him in a decent team & allow him to play in an advanced role fine, but like Lampard is unable to play in a 4-4-2 system. To me a player who is unable to play in any other system effectively can not be considered a great player, good, but not great
You are absolutely clueless. I suggest you follow another sport or something. Football's not for you.
