nothing like a 'top player'

Probably our best midfielder but, as we know, that says little.

His fitness is not that of a top player
His scoring-record is not that of a top player
His dead-ball ability is not that of a top player (did you see his corners last Sat? The free-kick he hoofed into the back of the stand?)

And any way, if Grant knows he can't play twice in a week then he should have been rested on Sat and played last night - god knows, the league is more important than FA Cup.
