Majority of those people don't watch him at all, the only time they watch him is when Inter knocked out of the champions league and they rate him based on that single game.
I've heard it thousands of times and when you ask them but he is soo consistance and keeps getting better and better every year even in the group stage in the champions league he always make the difference they just go back to that one or two games in the knock out stage and they rate him based on that game.
They ignore the fact that its not he's problem really but rather the team's problem for not having a creative playmaker to back him up. Look for example at Robinho with madrid when zidane was playing there, those two were magical in madrid. They connected well with each other and helped each other all the time but when zidane left Robinho and the whole team looked less effective, not that Robinho is not good (he's definately a class) but he had the job to create "alone" and score at the same time and it wasn't as easy as it used to be with zidane behind him.
Personaly i rate the player based on he's whole season rather than a single game or two. Because if you rate a player based on some games i wouldn't rate for example someone like cristiano ronaldo high specially after watching the last euros and he's awfull perforamnce there.....

I agree with you mate. But that said, there is no doubt his poor performances in the CL do not help him. When it comes to the big games like Liverpool last season and Rags this season he has failed to deliver (there has been other big games too) - If I recall correctly he did not score in the group stages this season too. Amazing talant but the fact is he needs to start producing in the latter stages of the CL, thats when world class players stand out...Also, I don't buy all this talk that Seria A is crap too. Its a great league but at the moment not as strong as the prem & La Liga... Lets not forget though, Italian teams dominated Europes for nearly 20 years not so long ago. It wil come good again.
