I've been a huge critic. He's looked lazy and disinterested in previous efforts. Your summation on his performance today though, is miles out.
One decent cross in the first half?
Without even thinking, I can recall at least five.
Great right foot one for Barnes' header
Another excellent one a minute or so later that very nearly led to an own goal.
He got to the byline and put a left foot cross inches in front of Barnes a few minutes later.
2 or 3 good corners.
Well then we beg to differ...... As I have said, I really don't think he's any good. He did a nifty trick when he put the ball in for the Barnes header, but otherwise was not good enough. Actually he did put another ball in that a defender headed out, but it actually was poor because he was in a good position and didn't pick anyone out.
He did get a lot of ball, but every time turns back towards Ward because his left foot is purely just for standing on........ watch him next time you'll see. Presumably you aren't counting corners in your 'good deliveries'?
