He was undoubtedly a superb talent. He was, imo, one of the best dribblers of the 90s and one of those players who was hugely exciting to watch as he made things happen. He was also a brilliant athlete: often he would finish games, having run the show, and look like he could play another 90 minutes.
But all that said, I never felt he quite fulfilled his potential. He could be a little 'hot and cold' in games.
And not that this matters to us LFC fans, but when considering holistically 'how good he was', it has to be said he never really did anything for England. I think this influenced the perceptions of a lot of non-LFC fans and the media that he wasn't as good as his reputation.
