Or maybe he's struggled for most of 2015 with niggly injuries and has finally overcome them to put together some form? Although of course we're far more likely as a fanbase to think poorly of sooner than give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm usually the first to excuse a player if he's been injured, but Kasim has been lazy for too long now. If injury was a reason then he wouldn't have played so many minutes. He used to be a creative midfielder and now he just goes through the motions if we're lucky.
