He's probably played worse than his stats suggest, but then his stats are better than anything he ever achieved at Liverpool (well, I thought they were, although looking maybe they aren't) so I'm not really sure what they were expecting. He's a quality player but I think he needs quite careful management, which neither the binman nor the Barca 'faithful' are apt to provide. Also, you know, expecting him to seamlessly replace one of their best ever players might have been somewhat unrealistic.
