Not going to defend this guy. There always seems to be a very convenient excuse why he doesn't perform or play well. Oh, he's just come back from injury, he's out of form, he's still injured, the midfield aren't doing enough, his cat is sick, the other plays aren't on his wavelength, somebody ate his last rolo.
He's deadweight. Don't even care if he was slightly better than the other attackers (who were shit anyway, so the bar is already low), it's just old and boring having to rely on the unreliable.
