He'd run around and no one would give him the ball. He was miles better when employed in his ideal position under Lennon before he lost the plot.
In half a season he went from a young debutant to a fans favourite and expected saviour the following season. Then not much time later was sold to keep the club afloat, clearly against what he really wanted.
Far too much pressure heaped on young shoulders, particularly when there were far more experienced players at the club who weren't earning their corn.
His career has taken a downturn since, but it's nonsense to say he wasn't good enough, when in his first season he showed he could play at this level.
Maybe he's lost something since and won't get back to where he once was, but he was a fine yound talent, and it's a great shame many others haven't shown the same desire to succeed for the club.
