Like Paul Merson, Stephen Ireland is capable of great things. Like Stephen Ireland, he's a lazy fucker. Unlike Paul Merson, he hasn't won many games for Villa, and whilst this is combined with being a lazy fucker, it doesn't look good.It's down to him and his attitude. He certainly hasn't endeared himself to the fans with his comments and general performances.Hutton hasn't looked the greatest, nor has he looked terrible, but he puts the effort in, which you can appreciate. When Ireland does this, then maybe he'll win a few more fans and get people off his back.Whilst he still ambles around the pitch like he's Messi, but playing anything but like Messi, people, including me, will find him to be incredibly frustrating because clearly he could be a very good player, but he'll only do what he wants to do. Barry Bannan on the other hand ran his socks off today when we had and didn't have the ball. I'm not asking Ireland to do as much as Bannan (not many players do), but if he carried a greater attitude onto the pitch, he'd be helping himself a lot more.The thing with Ireland is that he's the archetypal modern footballer. A flash fucker who thinks he's "it" and us peasants should bow down to his superior bank account.
As soon as Heskey put his shirt on it was obvious who was coming off - the player who'd contributed the least throughout the game.
