Let’s see how he does under more pressure and scrutiny before we saturate our bedsheets with steaming hot urine.
I think a large part is that he can’t do it all on his own. Having O’Brien behind him and Barry/Beto as the target man doesn’t help.
That said, his own standards dropped during the second half of the season.
He's often 30-40yds from the opposition goal and having to do much himself. I'd imagine he'd be far more effective if we were working space and positions more regularly. But agree, he looked less of a threat post-afcon.
