yes ......but if he is inherently lazy then how on earth did he make it so far as a professional footballer..........if his exclusion from the team is down to a personality clash then surely he is only as much to blame as the other people involved.....and i'm mentioning no names here but it is a bit difficult for a bit of a no mark to command the respect of others who may not appreciate who he is........
Sure, but you can get so far on talent alone, then you're found out when application is needed.......
There are plenty of 'talented' footballers who have gone by the wayside due to lack of application. Ravel Morrison most recently with Fergie, but hopefully he'll turn his career around - he certainly played well the other night for QPR.
