Don't know about that, he's not looked the same since he came back from suspension. Were they both around the same time?
Also he had a strop at a supporter during the Walsall game telling them to "shut the fuck up" and since then he's very much gone off the boil. When he signed I remember Brighton fans questioning his attitude when he was with them so maybe we are starting to see a little of that at the moment.
It could just be that he is in reality a bit of a luxury player who looks good when a teams playing well but just becomes a passenger when a team isn't ...... We really do need some kind of midfield enforcer though as we are very powderpuff when it comes to breaking up play!
