I that is what makes him such a comical masterpiece, because at infrequent times he does look rather good, hence the 'hype' that was surrounding hi and why some would have wanted to sign him. Such as the countless times I heard him be referred to as a future England captain etc. However the majority of the time he's an absolute oaf, and absolutely all of the time he is hideous.
Asking a serious question here (appreciate this is probably not the right thread) but how often do you actually watch Phil Jones? and i mean watch full 90 minute games? twice a season when we play you? maybe 2 or 3 other times on live sky games? the rest i gather would be purely Match of the day highlights, id say you dont watch him anywhere near enough to base such an opinion.
For instance if i was to ask you how he played at the weekend what would you say? you wouldn't of watched it would you, game wasn't shown anywhere on TV, so most likely you'll not have a clue, which basically sums up most opposition fans for 99% of his games, based on about 4 games a season and the odd MOTD highlight package, its not just you btw, ive probably got the same opinion of James milner for example, probably because i dont watch him anywhere near as much as you do.
I understand he did a few things at the end of the recent derby game thats not gone down well hence the comments, thats fine, im sure i say similar things about Tevez and co on other forums with United fans, but as a player hes got great potential, theres a reason why all the top clubs were circling him 18 months ago, but yeah i do get it, players you hate you arent going to praise, im the same.
Surely James Milner's contribution in the utter demolition of your defence the last time he played at Old Trafford was enough to convince you that he's quite good. Or were you one of the one's who took part in the fire drill?
