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'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 ...................
