Wembley was all about 'draw a foul - try and score from the freekick'.
Anyone looking upon today as a step back has an odd recollection of 6 months ago.
I'm still going to hold onto the belief it's a mental thing over a footballing issue, but that theory really doesn't have much more life in it.
(although naturally I'll flog it to the bitter end).
He's just too good a footballer to only have 9 ( ? ) career goals and not too many more assists.
