What determines a top player is what they do over the season as a whole rather than these games against the top teams, teams need their top players to perform every week if possible, it is harder to perform in the hard games. Strikers especially, they hardly ever have great games against the top teams, it is usually the midfield that we see the players quality.
I think there are a lot of people judging him with very little knowledge. The odd game for Sweden at major finals and the last 16 of the Champs Lge where they're playing a team much stronger than Inter. It seems pretty obvious that he does the business in Serie A and although he's never impressed me he must be doing something right.
