For whatever reason he's lost confidence that much is clear. Not sure if he's got some nagging injury, personal issues or what? He's clearly thinking too much out there as a result. What really worries me is how poorly he's been passing the ball. It seems like every pass he makes is off target which makes me think he's got some injury we don't know about. It's been exasperated by shaky play from Rodwell when he's played and Lescott hasn't played that great either. He was badly beaten on several headers against west brom and were lucky to have Hart stand on his head.
He'll get back on track soon. He's just too good not to.
