Consistency every time.

Nothing more frustrating that a player who is sometimes brilliant and other times average.

What a bout a player who is consistently average?

Ok how about this then.

A player who is consistently very good, with the potential to be a world beater in 3 or 4 years, VS a player who is consistently good/average, but on his day is a world beater right now.

I guess that describes Hazard vs Bale: with Hazrd the former and Bale the latter.

No not really Red. Could be used to describe any number of players in the PL. Modern football at the top level doesn't have too many players under 25 who don't slot in to one of those 2 categories.
