Good point on JJ. People bang on about his consistency, saying he turns up every 1 in 10 games and what not. 'Him turning up' being those lampard and gerrard like performances.
Perhaps they just need to get it into their head that he isnt Lampard, nor is he Gerrard. He wont score 15 league goals in a season, he wont be the main man.
He will provide bags of energy, a never say die attidude, an intense workrate, stick his foot in and chip in with the odd assist and goal every now and again; whilst occasionally having a blinder of a game.
Id say JJ is pretty consistent actually, he might play the sideways pass more often then not, but sometimes its better to do that then wrecklessly give the ball away by trying something glamorous. You will only notice what your missing once you take him out the team, the midfield begins to look lacklusture, lathargic and lacking of movement, you need energetic players like him - stats will backup that we win more games when he plays too.
