Frankly. I never notice him on the pitch. When he comes on as a sub, I feel like we've gone down to ten men. Mr Vanilla as far as I'm concerned. the squad is far too strong with dynamic players who make a difference to accommodate him.
Despite speaking as not a fan of his, my view about make or break is the same as yours. I think GP does rate him otherwise he would have gone the way of Molumbey. But he needs to apply some of his new found strength and add Mwepu and Caicedo's power and eye for a pass to his own undoubted...
You are right on both counts. But current Lallana also struggles to get a start. Now if you mean young Lallana in his prime, well maybe, but Stephen needs to get to a higher level than current Lallana. We already have one of them.
He is an excellent player, neat and tidy etc., but makes about as much difference to our team as Jack Wilshire did in his teams before he was found out. Neat and tidy with 10 yd passes makes bugger all difference to teams who play our style of football. Potter seems to like him too, but honestly...
