The potential he had when he was 19/20 ... he's not used it at all.

I could think of 7 or 8 better players in the Premiership I think, when he was meant to become the best in the world. And looked like he might, too.

I never see him beat a man anymore, or change a game. He's just become a functional player who plays simple balls and finishes easy chances.
