Kimbo is a confidence player, he started well enough but then got messed around playing different positions which didn't help. Then he had a bit of a shocker at Anfield being constantly knocked off the ball, a number of times that day I saw him sprawled on the ground punching the surface in frustration. He never got his confidence back since that day imo.
Kimbo needs an arm around him when he's out of form, someone to believe in him. On his day we all know how good Kimbo is, but he really needs to build up his character, belief and confidence to battle back when things don't go right. We all know the talent is in there but Kimbo needs to be in the correct frame of mind to be able to unleash his talent. I think you can compare his frame of mind to Koumas in some ways.

He also needs to work on the physical side of his game. That is what has led to his lack of confidence-mentally. Strength and balance can be worked on as much as anything else, with a top coach.
