Larson is a huge disappointment this season. I'd like to see the stats for the distance he covers because he seems to spend a lot of the game ambling rather than sprinting between defenders as they pass their way around him. His first touch when trying to hold up the play and link up with others is shocking and, worse than that, he never seems to jump for any high balls to provide possible flick-ons, preferring instead to back into the defender and try to 'outman' him.
He, Hwang and Arias all give away idiotic free kicks which immediately relieve any pressure we might be trying to build and deny our defenders any chance to get orgasnised. I understand that the service he receives is often inadequate but there is no excuse in my book for not putting in a decent shift and I feel he shortchanges us on a regular basis.
I had him down as a possible captain or at least a leader on the pitch at one stage because he seems to have a high profile at the club and a strong personality, but ever since the possible Newcastle transfer fiasco he has done very little to demonstrate his commitment and I really don't feel he's worth his place at the moment. 60 million? Do me a favour.

I couldn't agree more Pag and also couldn't have put it better myself! I was one of the posters on here saying we couldn't sell, because at the time with 14 goals last season he was the ONLY proven outlet we had! As it turns out it would have been more use starting virtually ANYONE in his place as he has been entirely anonymous! The cynic in me can't help feeling that after turning down Newcs bid that JSL has quietly realised that his no doubt (very) cheap relegation release cause is his best chance of escape?! I'd like to think not but like you say right now he looks like he just can't be arsed! Also like you say there is no service, however that doesn't excuse his complete lack of ANY kind of work rate! Last season he was pushing the line and closing defenders down, whereas this season when you watch him it feels like the TV is working in slow motion!
I'm afraid that it's all part of the same illness, which is an absolute apathy and lack of care/passion for our beloved club! I'm not excusing anyone but Jeff has been the man to bring this into the club and now we are seeing it festering in players like JSL! Relegation might be a technical word Jeff but so then is disgrace, so you won't mind me saying that you Jeff are an absolute disgrace to our club! ?

Pag, bully, rated, put so well totally agree. I too thought he may have been a leader but compare him to tolus effort and its obvious he dosnt care.

Pag and Bully. If JSL has virtually downed tools then he is a fool to himself as well as to Wolves. Any club interested in signing him will be scouting him in every match this close to the transfer window.
What will they think of his performances and would they be signing someone who might down tools again? The best look for a striker is to be working hard and scoring goals even in a poor team, obviously.
