I'm not ranking Ridenton on the basis of a missed shot or am I blaming him. I've watched him several times and his passing accuracy is incredibly poor, amongst other weaknesses. Which seeing that he only passes sideways and backwards you would expect to be better. To suggest that he has been one of the better midfielders in the league is frankly preposterous.
I think there are a lot of fans who buy into the hype with him because he is a young Kiwi player who has come into the squad and had a consistent run. It's really not much of an achievement when you look at the competition in the squad that he has faced this season.
