Credit where it is due, thought he was excellent against Stoke. Humble pie eaten. Well a small slice. Needs to keep it up, starting this weekend.

For the record it was that ****** Pennat who fouled him and who he got up, chased down and slid through.

I noticed the improvement. Think he had found his courage and confident.

I've noticed improvement throughout the season, actually (Newcastle excepted where everyone was appalling). Maybe not playing in the 4-4-2 is helping him, as he doesn't have to chase up and down quite so frequently.

He's the definition of a confidence player isn't he?

Hopefully he can build up some momentum as there is definitely a good player in there.  A good man-manager should be able to get the best out of him I think.

Really needs to be pulled to one side and told all the good things in his game. And how he has to develop a more "tigerish" approach and concentration ...................

A massive improvement, but please keep him on the left.
