Armitstead is being made to look so bad because the complete and utter lack of second phase in attack! If your strength is turning and offloading in a tackle, as his is, you want somebody wedged right up your booty on either side of you bursting onto your offloads hence catching the un-set defence flat footed. I've lost count of the number of offloads that have been recieved from armitstead whilst stood still, and it makes armitstead look like he's throwing nothing balls out. But, agreed, he has been unfit and sometimes looks too eager to find the floor although i feel that the best asset of his game is being totally negated by leighs poor push on attack.
