Exactly. For all of the blow jobs he is receiving from the media, our form has been shocking since he came into the team.

He’s not the messiah but he is a very good player and one we simply do not have an abundance of in this country. He was the best player on the pitch for me but I still think he’ll go full ‘it’s all about me’ at some point that will slow his progress. 

As for form, we’ve won 2, drew one and lost one with a positive 4 GD. 

14 minutes against Denmark - Draw
76 minutes against Wales - 3 nil win
61 minutes against RoI - 3 nil win 
90 minutes against Belgium - 2 nil defeat

See, mid-table form  Big Grin

I'm stripping Graham Roberts of his knighthood for high treason.

Ha!  Wink
I did find some of the comments abhorrent - especially comparisons to Gazza. Reminded me (to a lesser extent obviously) of David Bentley being compared to Beckham.
