It's just another example of people going massively overboard about how good/bad a player is. I don't know why we don't learn. He's never been as bad as people make out and he's not suddenly turned into a worldbeater. He's an adequate PL footballer and he's performing like one. It's good to see him working hard and looking like he's enjoying his football, but he needs to produce more and over a much longer period to move out of the 'happy to get rid' category for me.
I'm not sure it is people going overboard, more like people being genuinely surprised in the upturn in form and effort
 

Amazing how easily you people can turn.

Sound the lad ran a bit, come back to me when he shows talent for longer than 5minutes.
He did what a 5 million championship player would be able to do.
I mean it’s not his fault we decided we would stop doing scouting and just buy a bit part player for 35 mill.
 
He's worked had every performance since the Leeds game, credit where it's due
It really felt to me that was the game he finally twigged. You could see him realise he'd get the support he needs if he puts the graft in.

Goodison has really responded to that in his last few home games, and in turn he's kept it going.

But then again, maybe it's Lampard. Maybe he's figured out that getting him pressing gets him into the game.

He gave the ball away for a crucial goal against us barely 200minutes of football ago. Meanwhile people are giving DCL pelters for not running fast enough to celebrate a goal.

I just don’t think it’s as mad as people make out though. He’s had 2 or 3 periods like this in his time here, the issue is that he hasn’t ever kept it up and sometimes when he’s gone off the boil he goes really off the boil. I thought up until around Christmas last season he was pretty decent including a couple of really good games but then he was poor later in the year. He’s never really looked like a good use of £30m (including now) but he’s not always been the complete waster he’s often painted as either.

Yes I’m not only surprised I’m amazed the way he has played in the last three game with, as you say, his form and effort and for fans to say he was never as bad as people made he was bleedin worse and, for me, a bottler with it. Now he looks like he is enjoying playing and wants to be involved all the time where previously he hid from the action, I think he’s been on a pilgrimage to Lourdes!!
