I dunno, I fear Lennon as well, but it is all too easy for people to just say "Oh Maicon wasn't trying!" about this. Its so easy to just do that whenever a player you like comes off worst, its almost like the super hero arguments people have when they are kids. Like "Superman owned Batman!" - "Nuh-uh, Batman wasn't really trying!" you could apply it to many things in life and it would go on ad infinitum.
I take your point, but this isn't people trying to take credit away from Bale (I happen to think Bale is superb) because Maicon hasn't been trying all season and blatantly does not want to be in Milan.
