Lots of examples where players have struggled to begin with

add to that -

adapting to the pace/strength of the prem
Expectation on shoulders having been record buy
Injury blighted start to career here
The midfield behind him suffering badly from injuries
Lack of personal confidence and that around the team

He's clearly technically good and hopefully things in numerous different areas will improve meaning we'll see the best of him

  - I would think it means hit the target, not sent towards the target (n/m) (NCFC) - asics_kit, Jan 19, 11:30:36
    - 23 shots; 4 on target 7 off target 12 blocked (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 19, 11:31:47
