When looking at a player, judge him, not when his team are winning and the rest of the team are doing well. But, when his side are behind and struggling. Does he try to get a grip of the game? Does he try to lift his team mates? Does he demand the ball, confident he can retrieve the situation? If he's having a bad game, does he still try to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in (not just physically, but with the ball)? Is he a leader?
