I think this side of his game is definitely unappreciated by some.

The most recent MOTD was talking about his defensive duties and one of the guys said "that's the first time I've ever seen him make a tackle." I couldn't quite believe it.

^^^^Why, it's Mark Lawrenson? Nothing he says could surprise me with its stupidity. The only way he could surprise me is if he said something intelligent, humorous and insightful.

I cringed when Lawro said that. In comparison to other attacking mids such as Santi, Silva, Mata, Lampard he does a great amount of defensive work.

I agree Giroulski, an idiotic statement, if you are paid to commentate you should know what you are talking about...

Lawro still > Hansen in my opinion. Not that it matters.
