If I remember rightly, he only played more than a half in 4 games, and 3 were against Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea at home, the other Brentford away. Two of those he played left wing and I thought did well. Chelsea he played right wing and had to track back, he was sold a real pup by Kompany there. At Fulham he came on early in the 2nd half, played left wing, and we won. Those were the games where I was defending him on here when he was getting dogs abuse. His other appearances were all bits and pieces in all kinds of positions when the game was gone. Really poor by Kompany to only give him the hardest clubs. He should have been played early at Luton or Forest, or Palace / West Ham at home, to try to get some rhythm and love.
So in that sense I have a lot of sympathy, though I also had the sense he never wanted to be here, but no evidence to that just a feeling.
