I love Knocky, but I am starting to see why he vanished so quickly at Leicester when they got promoted. As mentioned earlier, he DOES want that adulation, he wants to be th main man, he wants to feel like he is bossing his full back. As with all confidence players, especially flair ones, when that goes it can be a vicious circle. Tougher opponents, don't feel so dominant, the adulation drops, your confidence wanes a little, and your performance drops, making you even less likely to dominate your full back etc.
I think that happened very quickly at Leicester, probably because he was younger and less able to deal with it, plus the likes of Mahrez appearing in the squad would have obviously knocked him down a peg. I really hope we can see the old Knocky swagger for the run in, because we need it, we need him at his best, but you can clearly see that the step up is a big challenge for him.
