His wingplay is awful which is why he's still here after 5 seasons

He's added nothing to his attacking game, if he isn't played in to open space he's useless and he doesn't seem to know what to do when shown inside as he now is regularly.

His resilience is world class and he has somehow managed to reduced his weaknesses at the far post. I think only once has he been effectively targeted by a deep cross to a 6+ footer at the back stick (was it Blackburn? That big Sam lad) but for me that's always a failing of a centre back to not recognise and move across to challenge.
