I think it's a classic media overhype

Just like they all said he was s**t when it took him so long to score for Liverpool (he obviously wasn't s**t, just a bit unlucky and also still learning at that level) so they are now all saying he's amazing and fantastic on the flimsiest evidence. He's not scored a SINGLE international goal against top opposition yet.
