Why waste that amount of time getting fit, when the time could be used passing the football. ( you can just hear Martinez and his awful back room staff saying this)

21 England caps and helped them to win what? Did he win young player of the year? How many of the raving managers would be up for paying the big price tag. Scored some great goals yes played some good football as well but just not often enough.

Yep but he didn't used to do this until Roy was in the media and now he believes it all about completed passes.
He will be better under the right manager

I could forgive him not pressing and tackling if he made himself an outlet for others when we are under pressure, but they pass it to him and most times he just passes it back to them and heaps up the anxiety levels! If he is to be a luxury player, fine, then he needs to react like Del, Lennin or Gibson, i.e. Get the ball and move it towards the oppositions goal! If he cant do that he is simply a part of the problem. If he lacks the confidence to do that at the moment, then drop the poor sod and let him get a break from the pressure!
....I've been critical in the past but think he's done well this season, illustrated by his much improved goals and assists count. Saying that, despite the talent top players grab big games by the scruff of the neck and make things happen and he shows no sign of making the step up to that higher level.
Had a great first half to the season eggs but fitness and form seems to have fell off a cliff 2nd half. Letting people jog passed you when they are within touching distance just isn't acceptable in my opinion.
I'm confident though a top manager will raise his game to the required level and have him putting in top performances and more consistent performances over the course of a season.

Yesterday, it wasn't what he did with the ball that annoyed me hugely as much as what he did, or rather didn't do, when he didn't have it, standing round like a rather gormless looking statue and watching the world go by.

Hes at his best when he doesn't think - when his body takes over and he goes on a slaloming run or pulls off a nifty piece of footwork. Or blasts it first time
When he has to think you can literally see the cogs turn and his whole play slows down

...I also think he's the key in the system RM plays, 2 CMs who rarely cross the half way line means there is so much of a dependency on him to link back with the front. It doesn't help that RM has been playing industrious wide players. I keep comparing this team model with that of the mid-80s.
That team had two defensive CMs but they hunted in a pack, playing very close together. The key difference was the offensive contribution of the wide players in that side, Steven and Sheedy scoring and creating goals. I keep saying that I can't understand how Deulofeu doesn't play, he not only creates but he's an inevitable out ball for Barkley.

Mata excluded. People forget how much work some of these top attaking players go through, they don't just stand about waiting for the ball
