I get the feeling that he may be carrying an injury. In saying that he's trying to do the Stevie G role in carrying the team. Not an easy thing to do.
Perhaps - I feel it's more a case of the team letting him down, but then again that knock he took against West Ham didn't seem friendly enough that he could continue to play 90 minutes every week. I feel that the fact that he was on top form when we strung a few passes together but has failed when our passing has been letting us down says it all.
