Did you miss the match on the weekend then?
No but I tend to afford players that I've watched over a number of seasons play well a little more leeway than simply branding them 'crap'.

He stood out at Reading, he stood out at Hoffenheim, he stood out at Swansea on both occasions. But yes he's suddenly crap, in funnily enough, a god awful Everton team where he's being played, in the main, out of position.
 
You don't think so?

So he's a worse player because the players around him aren't any good. Conversely, are they worse players because he isn't any good?

How can you be sure?

Chicken and the egg mate.

No and I haven’t said he was great in the first place.

You tend to find you play better when you are surrounded by better players, and one player cannot improve how good the rest of the players are around him.

Would you say Messi plays better when he play for Barcelona than Argentina? I’d say that’s because he’s got better footballers around him.

And if you play a one two with Martina or Baines, who is it more likely to come off with?

According to Swansea fans he supposedly played a lot of his games out on the left for Swansea.

You could legitimately put Messi in this team and have people saying he's not good enough 'barca cast off mate, get shut'
