He was a natural goal-scorer when we brought him. Remember him giving that keeper "the eyes" when he scored for England?
And he was lethal in one on ones when he first hit form at United. There was a time when you just knew he was going to score, every time he went through on goal. It has become a bit of an issue for him recently, to be fair but I still think the caftards are making much ado about nothing.
When you think back on the season as a whole, I can think of maybe 4 or 5 occasions when he's been clean through on goal and fluffed his opportunity. Obviously, that's not what you would expect from a player of his quality but it;s far too early to decide that this is an aspect of his game that will always be a problem, especially when we've already seen how lethal he can be in front of goal.
