What a load of toss.
He has all the talent in the world but is lazy and soft.
There I've said it.
It's a shame because he really was great to watch when things went his way.
But when they didn't?
Zero.
Simply calling players ' soft' CAN be a cop out. I'm not saying it was in this case, but we have other players like Josh ( Higgins ) who often don't seem as ferocious as we want them to be. Josh looked much better at willy after Rocket left. Just my take.
In short, there are ways to help players get the best out of themselves and going the punitive road is not always the best option. at the end of the day, patience is exhausted and whatever methods that were tried did not work. Good time for a change.
And sometimes even that does no good. Everitt for example.
