The response to him reminds me a lot of the way fans used to react to Shola (who as you may know I have a lot of love for), in so much that he polarises opinion, a point already evidenced in the opening few comments on here.
I do get the comparisons to a point - he gets picked week in and week out for a reason, which I assume is to do with what is seen on the training ground, despite him having limitations in most areas of his game. And then he gets battered for not being amazing all of the time. But I'm reluctant to criticise him (always, because he's also not exempt) for that as he seems to put in the effort and give it his best.
He can only work with what he has (and I'm sure he knows the flaws in his game) but to go into work and get booed by fans who are supposed to be on his side purely because he makes mistakes seems harsh, therefore I do get the celebration.
I've never considered him lazy, just limited. Yet he does seem to step up on occasion and can make a difference, especially in what has been a very limited team during his time.
But he's no Shola. I f***ing love Shola. He's even better now he's a pundit and I get to see his beauty in glorious HD.
