He is so wasteful but he gets so many chances to waste because he has that desire to keep making the unlikely runs that other players wouldn't bother to try. That, and he knows exactly where to go. He's hard to defend against despite his lack of skill.
It seems that no matter what he does, unless he actually scores a goal, or provid an assist, it will automatically be a bad game from him.
I'm still not totally on board with this guy, but to be honest, I haven't had many reasons at all to complain about him this season.
He DOES make the opposition take account for him every time he is on the pitch, because in a blink of an eye he can go from the mid-stripe into the 18 yard box.
