This is not a criticism, just an observation and I don't know what the answer is. If he could play for 90 minutes to the same standard he starts then he would already be a £5m plus player.
Maybe that is true. He sets off well but fades. Unfortunately that rarely gets goals early on but he can take advantage of tiring defences when he comes on early in the second half.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
