No doubting his talent. Scored numerous important goals for us. Top scorer one year. Goal of the season against Ipswich. You can work on weight and fitness.
What went wrong? A real shame, however.
Even when he was on form, for most of the game you only had ten men and then you had 10-15 minutes where it felt like you had twelveHe never dominated games. The odd good goal covered up inept displays.
If he actually wanted to play he was easily premier league in terms of ability and eye for goal. Unfortunately he rarely actually wanted to do anything other than count his money.Ironically Lewis in his prime (as fleeting as that was, even during matches), would have been a useful sub to bring on with our current squad when we are chasing games.
