No one is saying he is past it. Rather, that he needs to remain error free, which he currently isn’t doing. Decision-making at 100mph has always been his weakness. couple it with the least technical feet in the club, and it can BECOME a liability if he makes too many poor decisions.His pace and athletism are one of the main reasons we sniff out counter-attacks very quickly. He might not be the best attacking fullback in the world but at the end of the day, he is a full-back, not a winger.
To be fair to him he's been a mainstay in the team for the last two seasons which haven't ended too badly.
It would be crazy to think he doesn’t make the Euro squad, but the young guns are pushing him hard, and his City performances need to be better.
