Do I think he's as good as he was pre-injury? No way. But is he good enough? Yes

I know what you mean about his body language - but the whole team should've done better for the first goal, which had me cringing and moaning "oh, Norwich" to myself in front of my laptop in Montevideo.

Overall, he still adds plenty to the side: as do Tettey, Turner (when fit), Howson (ditto), Fer (when he's in the mood). Redmond (wish we'd start with him more often), Snodgrass and Hooper. Not so sure about Bassong this season; Johnson is a bit up and down, but good enough; but there's only one player we have whose impact isn't even neutral, but is outright negative. Van Wolfswinkel.

I thought it was like playing with 10 men with him on earlier - which made our dominance of the later stages all the more remarkable. He looks quite laughably out of his depth, and also that he's broadly stopped trying.
