He's Englands only skillfull player, he's the only one with the balls to try anything special, he's one of the only wingers that can actually cross with some sort of consistency, well really he's one of the only consistent performers (for us obviously) and that time the crowd started giving him stick was ace when he signaled 3-1 to them...
Every good national side has at least 1 skillfull flair player in their XI, and if England want to achieve anything, he has to be the first name on the teamsheet.
In the past, he wouldn't have turned out much, 'cos past managers rated work ethic above skill level.
If you have a look at good club sides there's always someone who can take on a man and beat them consistently. Adam J has shown he can beat two or three in a couple of square yards, so those who double and triple mark will have to consider sticking four of their men on him!
