There is no way he can be blamed soley for this.I sort of agree with the rest of your points but at the same time the guy has played continually for well over a decade( barring small spells out) and as of lately has had to break up that continuity with spells on the bench plus he aint getting any younger. Is it inconceivable that his less than super performances have been down to that, maybe even just a spell of poor form himself? I mean he made mistakes on Wed but because he was much better and the overall team performance was up by 100% nothing is mentioned. Anyway we have sort of got dragged along here on this (which should have been in the Lampard thread, sorry mods) but my major point is the original guy calling him an arrogant tosser and a fat bastard, no need for it full stop.
