Yep, agree he probably just needs a rest, no doubting his potential and his performances up to the end of last season, at least. His main recurring fault this year (although I obviously don't see the full 90 mins of every game from here, but I've heard all the ones I haven't seen) seems to be how easily he's been turned by opponents, leading directly to at least two goals that I can remember-- hopefully something that any decent coach should be able to sort out.
