His critics wouldn't even deny that he's a sensational player. He causes trouble hands up I agree, but he'll mature and settle down to become a dedicated professional and will become a success like Sturridge
I wouldn't call him sensational, he's actually very ordinary. Where does this false perception come from that's he's some world class player? If he was then teams wouldn't be offloading him for peanuts every other season. He managed 6 goals in 3 seasons from open play in the premier league. Far from sensational.
He may improve when Sturridge gets back. But let's face it, he's been awfull so far. Sturridge didn't need time, he hit the ground running because he had the right mentality.
