I personally think its down to bad attitude and maybe lifestyle with Naylor this season. I actually think he has considerable ability when he is 100% focussed. He was an England u-21 and more importantly he played extremely well in most of our CL games with some crucial tucking in etc. When playing to top form he is EPL standard, maybe even England squad material. I think the main thing that held him back from an EPL career was not quite having enough pace for a league full of serously pacey foreigners and also he is relativley puney and the EPL has a lot of big strong players. However, he showed two seasons back what he can do and he was certainly then well up to a low-mid EPL standard. You cant lose that overnight. I think he looked knackered in many games. He actually looked tired about the face and general appearance which to me is the sign of someone not taking care of himself. I dont often have that feeling about a player not even Deeks.
