we've been over this (i remember ppl hating on him and it turned out he covered the most ground AND made the most or second most sprints), your hate is so big that not even FACTS can convince you.
and while i agree that his body language isn't the best and that he looks overly casual at times, i'm still surprised that people who regularly claim they actually watch and understand the sport do NOT rate him and do NOT acknowledge what he brings to the game, INCLUDING actual effort...
i rate him and i said in the last discussion that his talent with the ball is among the best in the world
so lets say he covered the most ground and made among the most sprints, i didnt see any results from that on sunday and in so many big games before that
i watched some pundit talk about the game as well and they all asked the same question "what the fuck was this guy doing today" but all those former professionals must be clueless right?
you simply can not be worldclass when you fail against any strong team that is capable of taking you out of the game
in his defense, he would play better in a more stable team, but i expect a player with this reputation and massive paycheck demands to take matters into his own hands
