Well he doesn't "always" turn up in big games, does he? Given that he played behind the striker in our recent big games and didn't turn up when we needed him to, though neither did his team mates. He's one of those players who has grown in reputation amongst the support as being some sort of secret weapon who just needs games, but he's had a decade and numerous managers and never really been able to show that his reputation is justified. He's probably a Championship player in all honesty.
