He has the athleticism and technique to be a world class player - even has pretty good tactical nouse. His attitude is presumably OK and apparently he's a team player with good attitude.
His glaring shortcomings are he lacks the unshakable confidence top players have & doesn't seem to have that obsessive drive to win at whatever cost. You only notice Jenas' weaknesses so much because the other parts of his game are so bloody strong.
Technically and athletically he's not far short of the likes of Gerrard or Lampard - in terms of drive, conviction and heart - Jenas is, unfortunately, a million miles short!

He should be playing in Italian footie, Serie A.
He can keep the ball and inject speed when it is needed.
Er all sounds a bit stupid after tonight, so crap he was hauled off at halftime
