He didn't take anything by the scruff of the neck, he came on and scored....Thats about it.
He has been better in recent weeks, working much harder, but he is still nowhere near his best form, he would even admit that himself.
That goal however will go a long way to restoring some of that confidence however, but he isn't back, yet.
The truth is, he still could of been responsible for us not winning yesterday, i wonder if he would have been praised so much?
Lets not big him up too much, let him get back to form and banging in goals every other game like he is capable of before we start jumping about.

I think he has a good attitude, at least he wasn't lying to himself thinking he was worth his money and a starting place, because he wasn't! It's a bit early to say if he'll get back to near best but at least the confidence is coming back!

Even if he were fully fit, I would not want him playing ahead of Djouru or Kos anyway. He will just be coming back after about 6 months out, and playing at Barca isn't exactly a good idea for one of his first handful of games during his return.
On topic, I agree 100% with GG. Let's not go overboard about last night. He came on and he scored, something he's already done against Everton... what makes this any different? Just because it was Barca? It's a bit more emotional sure, but really it's just another step on the journey.
Come on Leody, the goal he scored against Everton was the equaliser and the one against Barca was the winning goal, what more you want? Also, his work rate has been really really good lately. He didn't scored against Wolves, but I thought he was pretty good in that game.
