One of the weirdest players we've had in terms of the fans views of him.
Not so much on here but more twitter etc I think people project the sort of midfielder they wish he was onto him. You see comparisons to Peter Reid, he's our best player, should be playing for England and all that absolutely baffles me.
He's average at best and both the stats and eye test confirm it.
That's just twitter though, it's full of fringe, controversial opinions that are magnified by the algorithm dragging other idiots like a tornado of shit, making it seem like more people share that opinion than really do.
He is average overall, but good at a few things that our other options are bad at. Fortunately for us, the things he's good at make him 'average' in a number of different positions and against most opposition types. So he's good to have in the squad but it also highlights that our recruitment has failed.
I'm more forgiving than most I'd say, and I think he's done well this season and makes others around him more effective, but we desperately need someone who can do everything he does well AND play a forward pass.
