[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1093484, member: 72977"] I think that he is a bit overrated and is being picked mainly for his size and power. Too often he is weak either defensively or in the air and has shown numerous times to make the wrong choice after a line break. Having said that, he shouldn't have been picked in the first place and should have stayed home to rest and prepare for next season after having so much time off. On top England's ability to get the ball to the wings in space is atrocious, so like most players he's being asked to do a job that doesn't match his position. If EJ wants to use his as a power player equivalent to Manu, then he needs to be at centre. Simply I don't think he's good enough right now, but he's also being given a **** hand. [/QUOTE]
