I never criticised him for not scoring in the big games, I criticised him for not turning up in the big games, therefore not even having a chance of scoring.
So are you saying that it's purely a co-incidence that in the games so far in January (transfer window open) he's scored against the big boys and not against the third division teams? Really, you do? Personally I think his head's not in it, he's been turned by his agent into believing that he is the next Ronaldo, and I think he withdrew his transfer request because he realised that Leeds weren't going to let him go in a deal that didn't look after LUFC first and foremost. Not only that, I think that all this shite in the press is unsettling the rest of the squad, and the sooner we can settle the squad by getting rid the better. If we don't get rid, the rest of the season is going to be centred on Beckford and not on LUFC, and we don't need it.
