That's a bit harsh.  He is good at what he does, its just what he's good at is only a tiny part of what someone in his position could do.

I don't even have a problem with him being in the side quite often.  My problem is that he is first name on the team sheet every single week.  Surely there are some games where BFS might think that, given the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition, a different player might be more effective?  Especially with no Carroll?
