I had him down as our clear best player in the first half. 2nd half he lapsed back into his annoying trait of holding onto it too long, then hitting it slightly too far in front of him and losing the resulting 50/50 at times...He also seemed to willingly concede the anchorman/instigator role to Cleverly when he came on...But in general I thought he was excellent.
I don't know how often this gets across on TV but regular match goers will know how he's wanton to try and rouse the crowd with a windmilling "come on" gesture at times, and at 2-1 and 2-2, he was doing it to excellent effect whenever we got a free kick or corner...It's impossible not to love the little fecker.
