He had a poor first year at both NEC & AZ, so a slow start is nothing new. Add to that the fact he's adjusting to a new country, a new league and a pretty serious jump in quality and it makes sense he's had a bad first season. I reckon he'll be put on a strength programme in pre-season and he'll come back next year bulkier/stronger, you need either strength or pace to really shine in the Prem. Next year is when to judge him, once he's had a full pre-season and time to settle. Or maybe we go down and he tears the Championship a new arse.
He could score today or get the winner at Wembley next week and then all of a sudden he'll be brilliant again and everyone on here will be telling us he's our best player again. We'll see.
