It's not that I'm a massive fan per se - just that I'm not a mindless detractor.
Some of the posts on here are shameful, slagging the lad off basically becausehe isn't some dynamic attacking MF or McKay like defensive MF.
Some of the comments about his general play are ignorant and borne of a total lack of understanding about the role he is expected to play, and frankly it's boring and tedious.
I know he isn't going to play every game, we now have some real talent in our MF, but not every mix suits each and every opposition, so he will get games where his water carrier role fits the requirement.
Even when the lad plays well, he gets slated, it's like some people are totally blind to the things he does do well, and trot out the same old insults about him regardless of his impact on the game.
