A short while ago there was a thread about how they'd discovered that he was on the wrong medication for his asthma and that it was hoped that when his medication was altered he'd be able to get back to something like the form he showed at the start of the season.

It must be really difficult to play at a high intensity for 90 minutes when you have a condition like asthma and it's a credit to him that he's been able to overcome that condition and made a career as a professional footballer.

I agree that he looks unfit however and what we are seeing is a player struggling to deal with what appears to be a massive crisis of confidence which we can't afford at the moment to let him play his way out of.

Beginning to look like the start he had to the season was a blip and that what we are seeing now is the real NML. Hope he can prove me wrong.

I don’t put it down to his asthma. Plenty of sportsmen and women have it and been successful, for purely footballing reasons he looks like a completely different player

He needs to see the team sky doctor, they can work miracles with an asthma pump.

Bit of a conspiracy theory but I know for a fact that he’s been seeing this recently turned 18 year old girl for a couple of months that he met after a city game...hm...
