I don't think it is, he was slagging Allardyce off over how unfit the squad was and how Keegan has got them back to full fitness, he still lacks that extra spark to go past people though, even when coming off the bench and going up against a tired fullback he's shown nothing to suggest he's capable of beating a man.
He's only had one really good game for us in the 2 years he's been here and that was against some part timers in Europe, apart from that he's been average.
