Yes he's not the best technical footballer the world has ever seen, but he is a very good finisher and not too bad in the air. He will score goals running from deep. Never a winger in a million years.
BUT, he encourages good football i.e. we cannot lump it up to him, and he has a poacher's touch. I have a feeling he will pop up in big games too, just how Dirk Kuyt was always a bit gash, but managed to score against big teams, somehow? it just baffles me, when people say we should sell for £2mil, when that might buy us another van der meyde....
As I've said before he cant be judged properly until he's played in his proper position, chances are he's not going to set the place alight but at least wait until he plays there before slating him, similar situation to coleman last year when a lot on here would have been happy to see him leave the club

Was he playing his natural position on sunday?
