Not sure where you've seen all of this critism , Ireland has his critics ,mostly for good reason . He's very inconsistent I'm forming an opinion that Ireland is as good as the players around him. At Man City with Elano, Robinho, Sturridge, Kompany and others around him, he was arguably their best player. At Villa he was as shit as the rest of them. At Stoke he has blown hot and cold, but on Saturday he had the attackers all looking lively and the rest of the midfield running round making space and giving him options. He just slotted right in. He makes good players look better, but if the rest of the team is bit flat, he tends to be as well. I've always believed that to be the case. Ireland's game is about keeping the ball moving quickly and using players runs to feed them and make himself available in return. It stands to reason that with better players who like to play 1-2s and run in behind he looks better. It's a shame though that when that's not the case that he doesn't do the other stuff too well. But would be disappointed if we lost him. Sent from my GT-I8190N using proboards

I'm going to try to come up with a super cool nickname for him based on this. Ireland the Impersonator, Shapeshifting Stevie, Irel copy you, etc. Give me a few weeks.
